“One of the most gratifying, rewarding things is when people come up, and they tell you how the show influenced their lives in a very positive way. When I do these things like Comic Con, I get people who are lawyers, judges, plumbers, carpenters, and entire families, and it's mostly for 'Batman.' But now, amazingly, it's also for 'Family Guy.'”

American actor

Adam West, born William West Anderson, was an American actor best known for playing Batman in the 1960s ABC television series and the 1966 feature film. He worked in film from the 1950s and remained closely associated with the role for years after. West appeared opposite Chuck Connors in Geronimo (1962), with The Three Stooges in The Outlaws Is Coming (1965), and in the science fiction film Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964). His career is most closely tied to that iconic superhero part, which he revisited in later appearances through 2017.
