Untitled[edit]

I recall him being in some episodes of "Twelve O'Clock High". Does anybody have any info on this?

There is a "Twelve O'Clock High" episode guide at the following address:

www.fscwv.edu/users/rheffner/b17/tohguide.shtml

If you have trouble with it, just google "Twelve O'Clock High Eric Braeden" and it should be the first or second entry.

Hans Jörg Gudegast[edit]

Is his name still Hans Jörg Gudegast or did he legally change his name to Eric Braedon? 76.69.123.194 (talk) 17:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ditching HIMYM[edit]

According to Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Braeden will not reprise his role as Robin Scherbatsky Sr. because he feels the role is not substantial enough for him. I think this should be noted in his article--150.212.72.23 (talk) 18:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It IS. Moncrief (talk) 18:48, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish Father, Son Named Christian?[edit]

The article states that Gudegast/Braeden competed on a sports team made up of Jewish players, yet he has a son named Christian. Is he Jewish? If not, why was he playing on a Jewish team? Is he a Jewish man married to a Christian woman? In the Jewish tradition the determination of whether one is Jewish comes down from the mother, not the father. If the mother is Christian it would make sense to have a son named Christian. If both mother and father are Jewish it would seem odd to have a son named Christian. I am not an anti-Semite, just curious about this.2600:1700:7F11:6420:8A8:5E36:423E:806A (talk) 16:46, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is easily cleared up by simply reading the cited source (https://archive.today/20160428064100/https://sports.vice.com/ca/article/los-angeles-forgotten-jewish-soccer-dynasty). There we find quotes like these:

"The German-born Braeden, who came to America to become an actor, says he originally played on the Maccabis because "they promised us some money for each game." Soon, he says, "I began to realize that I was the token German on a Jewish team."

"The Maccabi team was not exclusively Jewish; major contributors included Braeden, who scored the winning semifinal goal on the way to their first US Open Cup championship, Chon Miranda of Mexico, and Tony Douglas, a native of Trinidad and Tobago."

"We players played for a lot of different teams," Meyer says. "Sometimes we got a little more money from this team or that team, and it didn't matter very much."

It mattered more for Braeden. "It became a statement," he says of playing on a Jewish team, given his own heritage. "I did not work with any prejudices in Germany in the years I lived there, and not one single time did I hear an anti-Semitic remark. Yet, coming here and working in this industry, I of course heard bad things about Germans. I said: 'I'll be damned, I am not like that.'" Knuthove (talk) 17:39, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
