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.
