"I had never read comics before I [was hired for _"Batman" (1966/II)_ ]. My agent rang up and said, 'I think you are going to play on "Batman",' I said 'What is "Batman"?' He said, 'Don't you read the comics?' I said, 'No, never.' He said, 'I think you are going to be Batman's butler.' I said, 'How do I know I want to be Batman's butler?' It was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard of. He said, 'It may be worth over $100,000.' So I said I was Batman's butler".
