I just hope that when Nolan and Co. decide to introduce the Riddler to the movies, they can find someone of Gorshin's caliber. Something about Jim Carrey just didn't work for me (plus that horrendous storyline and art direction).The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-31882800375952379882008-07-16T11:35:00.000-05:002008-07-16T11:35:00.000-05:00Doh!

He was also nominated for an Emmy for his guest appearance on Star Trek when he played the half black, half white alien.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gorshin" REL="nofollow">Frank Gorshin Wikipedia</A>Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-79395751545323843312008-07-16T11:22:00.000-05:002008-07-16T11:22:00.000-05:00See, BatFAct of the Day: I did not know Gorshin w...See, BatFAct of the Day: I did not know Gorshin won the Emmy for playing the Riddler.

It was hugely successful during it's initial run and it has a certain all ages appeal.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree that Frank Gorshin's Riddler was just perfect. There was a certain amount of maniacal malice that comes through in his portrayal of the character. It is no surprise that he won and Emmy for that role.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.com
