Overwiew :The life and death of actor, comedian, and Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane (1928-1978), as depicted in the book, The Murder of Bob Crane, by Robert Graysmith. In the years after Hogan's Heroes (1965-1971) was cancelled, Crane (Kinnear) became obsessed with sex, teaming up with video technician Johnny Carpenter (Dafoe) to document his many exploits, resulting from a life spent trolling strip clubs, in a sort of amateur pornography. Crane was murdered in 1978 in Scottsdale, AZ, his skull crushed by a camera tripod, for which Carpenter was tried and acquitted, in an eight-week trial.
