Christopher George as Sergeant Sam Troy Gary Raymond as Sergeant Jack Moffitt Hans Gudegast as Hauptmann Hans Dietrich Larry Casey as Private Mark T. Hitchcock Justin Tarr as Private Tully Pettigrew* *Ersatz Tullys For a few episodes during the second season of the series, a replacement for Tully rounded out the four man patrol. Here they are: In Field of Death Raid Darwin Joston played Peterson In The Fatal Reunion Raid and The Double Jeopardy Raid Mac McLaughlin played Andy  In the Tug of War Raid Bo Hopkins played Bo Randall The patrol's C.O. Morgan Jones as Captain Boggs See the many guests who appeared on the Rat Patrol First Season Guests (please be patient with the time it takes to load the many images) Second Season Guests   Here are some extra special faces you might recognise from the Rat Patrol. [][][][][] Fans of Hogan's Heroes will recognise the face, but not the accent or uniform of British Major Bracken from the Violent Truce Raid.   In Hogan's Heroes, Howard Caine played Major Hochstetter of the Gestapo but he switched allegiances to the British for this one episode of The Rat Patrol.  Some of the guests of The Rat Patrol appeared in more than one episode - although often changing nationalities, 'sides', or military rank by the time they returned a second time. Milton Selzer Kill or Be Killed Raid   Milton Selzer appeared as a German colonel but later appeared as a local Arab.     Gale Garnett and Milton Selzer Trial by Fire Raid Albert Paulsen Life Against Death Raid Albert Paulsen appeared twice, each time as a crazed German - first time as a Colonel and the next a Major. Jack Bannon & Albert Paulsen Field of Death Raid John Anderson Last Harbor Raid   John Anderson went from playing  a Major to playing a General. Not bad advancement in the space of a single season, but he had to change nationalities to get it. John Anderson Pipeline to Disaster Raid Ben Wright Double or Nothing Raid   Ben Wright played a German Colonel in one episode then played a British Colonel in another.   Ben Wright Fifth Wheel Raid Robert Knapp Exhibit 'A' Raid   Robert Knapp played a Captain in one episode and by the second season he had become a Major. Robert Knapp Touch and Go Raid Michael Vandever Two if by Sea Raid   Michael Vandever was seen in a couple of episodes but he jumped ship, so to speak, from the German Navy to the Afrika Korps. Michael Vandever Double or Nothing Raid Manfred Lating Kill at Koorlea Raid This list wouldn't be complete without a glimpse or two of the ubiquitous German soldier, officer, Navy captain who appeared so often (and died so often) in the series - Manfred Lating Manfred Lating Wildest Raid of All Socrates Ballis The Wild Goose Raid   Another face seen in a number of guises - usually Arabic - was Socrates Ballis.  His characters often met a sad ending. Socrates Ballis The Decoy Raid   This fellow appeared a number of times but never had a line. Trial by Fire Raid Here he is peering over a shoulder Two if By Sea Raid   Made up and silently waiting on a desk behind Dietrich The One That Got Away top See the many guests who appeared on the Rat Patrol First Season Guests (please be patient with the time it takes to load the many images) Second Season Guests [][][][][] See more images from the show.  Check out the Rat Patrol Episode Guide by Suncompass. [][][][][] And how about the first two Rat Patrol directors? John Peyser For a sneak peek at John Peyser, director of many first season episodes, take a look atThe Fatal Chase Raid.  He pulled an 'Alfred Hitchcock' number and put himself into a small role in that episode.  He played the part of the American G.I. driving the truck full of escaping POWs and he spoke briefly with Troy.   [][][][][] Steve Franken and Lee Katzin Spain - 1966 Lee H. Katzin, director of seven first season episodes of The Rat Patrol, was a good friend of Steve Franken (Ned Cunningham, the 'Gunrunner' from The Gunrunner Raid episode).  Together they had considerable input into the writing of The Gunrunner Raid episode.
