Frank Gorshin - The Riddler 1933-2005

He was a great impressionist and character actor who won a Emmy nomination as a two faced bigot on Star Trek. But Frank Gorshin's career got a rocket kick when he donned a skin-tight green suit with a black question mark on the front and became "The Riddler" on the Batman Television series. He never felt typecasted by the role that made him famous. The gig lead to a movie deal, numerous appearances in Las Vegas and a dead-on impression of George Burns in the 2002 one man show, "Goodnight Gracie." Gorshin died this week at 72.
