Actor Born: 1933 in Pittsburgh, PA Death: May 18, 2005 in Burbank, CA Biography:One of Hollywood's premiere impressionists and comedians, "Frank Gorshin" is best remembered for his hypo-manic portrayal of the villainous, green-clad Riddler from the campy "Batman" television series of the 1960s. Gorshin made his film debut in the 1955 action-drama "Hot Rod Girl". As a movie actor, Gorshin has spent the bulk of his career appearing in low-budget fare, but he has also worked in a few major features including "Meteor Man" (1993) and gave a well-received supporting performance in "Terry Gilliam"'s "12 Monkeys" (1996). He has also been on television as a guest star on comedies, dramas, and variety shows. Lovers of the first "Star Trek" series will know Gorshin from the anti-prejudice episode, "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield." Following the demise of the "Batman" series, Gorshin continued his film career as a character actor. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
