John Banner, best known as Sgt. Hans "I know nothing!" Schultz in Hogan's Heroes (1965), delivers this most repeated line more than three years prior to appearing in that series.
This is the sixth of eight appearances Oscar Beregi Jr. makes in the series and the fifth of seven times he plays the role of Joe Kulak. In his first appearance in Jack 'Legs' Diamond (1960), he plays the role of Oscar Benjamin.
Although this is a minor role and the only appearance Leonard Nimoy makes in the series, before the end of the 1960s, he had garnered a much larger and enduring role for himself as Mr. Spock in the iconic TV sci-fi series Star Trek (1966) and in the franchise of movies that followed.
Joe Kulak suggests that, as President, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) would repeal Prohibition, which took effect 16 January 1920 after the ratification of the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the passage of the Volstead Act. On 5 December 1933, almost exactly 9 months after FDR was inaugurated as the 32nd President of the U.S., the 21st Amendment was ratified, which ended Prohibition.
Given an uncredited bit part as a bartender in this show, Charlie Picerni is perhaps better known in the industry for his work as a stunt coordinator/director, as well as performing stunts and acting as stunt doubles for other actors. His work in Die Hard (1988) and the franchise that followed made him a star in the field of movie stunts. The actor who plays Lee Hobson in The Untouchables (1959) is in real life his brother.
