Known for:	General Hospital, Twelve Monkeys, Batman
Birthday:	5 April 1934, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Considered one of the top impressionists in Hollywood. His manic portrayal of The Riddler in the _"Batman" (1966/II)_ TV series was directly responsible for turning the character in the comics from a minor villain into one of Batman's top major recurring enemies. Recently appearing (2002) in a one-man stage show based on the life of George Burns, entitled "Say Goodnight, Gracie." Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith, pg. 189. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387 Was the only member of the cast of _"Batman" (1966/II)_ to receive an Emmy nomination. Buried in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the family plot. Father of Mitchell Gorshin of Orlando, Florida. Brother of Dottie Roland of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Was one of Ed Sullivan's guests on the famous 9 February 1964 show that featured the US debut of The Beatles. His last job before his death was a guest appearance on the fifth season finale ("Grave Danger," directed by Quentin Tarantino) of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He died two days before the episode actually aired. In an ironic note, the famous impressionist's final role was to portray himself. He died just four days before the first appearance of The Riddler (voiced by Robert Englund) in the animated series The Batman. His signature challenge line in the TV series _"Batman" (1966/II)_ , "Riddle me this, Batman!" became a catch-phrase of the day. Has a grandson, Brandon.
