I don’t think I’m stepping on **Eve’s** toes with this one. If I am, sorry, **Eve**. Larry Hovis, probably best known as Carter on _Hogan’s Heroes_ died this week at Austin’s Cristopher House. [The Houston Chronicle](http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/metropolitan/2090918) has a write up. He’s probably best remembered for his work on TV, but they’ve been playing some of his singing on the radio and the guy had a great voice. Apparently, he was a fair jazz drummer, too, and no slouch as a stand up. Talented guy. More [here](http://larryhovis.com/). (I did a search and didn’t find a thread about this. Maybe he wasn’t a big enough star to warrant one, but I heard him singing on the radio and, man, nice voice.) ---

He was always good on _The Liar’s Club_. ---

Aw, what a shame; a good character actor. So young, too! ---

He was also on Gomer Pyle and Laugh In. Not than anyone noticed.
