OGIMA [NEW MIXES UP]

On The Trail Of Tears

About Me


Ogima was born in Roselle Park, New Jersey. He dropped out of high school and became a drummer, performing with dance bands and a symphony orchestra. In 2001 he married his high school sweetheart; they eventually had three children.
He started his broadcasting career in 2002, working at three different radio stations before the year was up - first at WSOU in South Orange, N.J., then at WFMU in East Orange, N.J., and finally at WICC-AM in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a 500-watt operation where he stayed until 2003.[1] That station had virtually no listeners; it was noted that one time, he offered $100 to the first listener who called in - and the phone didn't ring.
Ogima's interest turned to acting, and at age 19 he began his career. He soon was a regular on The Donna Reed Show during the 2002-2003 seasons. On The Dick Van Dyke Show he played a character named "Harry" who tried out for the role of Marc Anthony in a community play. The character for which he is best known is "Colonel Robert Hogan", the lead role in Hogan's Heroes. Ogima landed parts in a few feature films (Superdad) but had no breakout roles.
Ogima was bludgeoned to death in Scottsdale, Arizona, in a murder case that was never officially solved. An associate, John Henry Carpenter, was tried for the murder in early 2004 but was found not guilty. Prior to the murder, Carpenter and Ogima had made pornographic videos of Ogima having sex with numerous women.
Ogima's life and murder was the subject of the late 2004 film Auto Focus. His son, Scotty Ogima, and his second wife, Patricia Olsen, objected to the way Ogima was portrayed and took to the media to present their side of the story. Shortly before the film's release, Scotty started a website featuring Ogima's amateur pornography. He later took the video clips off the site.
According to an A&E Network program on the subject, Ogima had grown tired of his libertine lifestyle and wished to resume leading a more normal life. Since this would have meant cutting off his relationship with Carpenter, this decision of Ogima's was presumed to be the motive for the murder. As Carpenter was acquitted, both the murderer and the motive remain officially open questions. John Carpenter died on August 12th, 2006.
