Burt Ward Quotes

"Playing Robin was everything I could want. It was me being allowed to be myself. I was exactly what the producers imagined Robin would be like."

On auditioning for _"Batman" (1966/II)_ : "To be perfectly honest, I didn't even know what I was trying out for. The producers didn't tell me. I remember that I went in for my screen test and two guys pulled off my pants and pulled on these leotards. I was afraid I was auditioning for a porno flick."

On shooting _"Batman" (1966/II)_ : "I was new. This was my first job. One of the scenes was in the same show, where The Riddler shoots me with a dart in the arm, and I fall down, and he presses a button in the Batmobile, and all these fireworks go off. They said it was a one take thing and nobody could move. Well, here I didn't move, and the ashes burned through my cape, and I had third degree burns and scars on my arm because I didn't want to make any noise and ruin the shot."
