Personal Quote:
[to his manager Seymour Heller in late 1986] If my fans or the public ever found out that I'm gay or that I have AIDS . . . that's all they'll ever remember about me. See more »Trivia:
The episodes of the television series Batman (1966) on which he guest-starred as Chandel/Harry, Batman: The Devil's Fingers (1966) and Batman: The Dead Ringers (1966), were the highest-rated in the series' history. By all accounts he got along well with the cast and crew and would play impromptu recitals at the end of each day's filming. See more »Trademark:
