He is currently known for portraying [[Eccentricity (behavior)|eccentric]] characters, as well as his voice work on animated series such as ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' and as [[Adam West (Family Guy)|the fictionalized character of the same name]] on ''[[Family Guy]]''. ==Early life== West was born '''William West Anderson''' in [[Walla Walla]], [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]] to Otto West Anderson and Audrey V. Speer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.genealogy.com/famousfolks/adamw/index.html |title=Ancestry of Adam West |publisher=Genealogy.com |date=2001-10-18 |accessdate=2010-06-17}}</ref> He has a younger brother named John. He attended [[Walla Walla High School]] during his freshman and sophomore years, and later enrolled in [[Lakeside School]] in Seattle. He graduated with a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in Literature and a minor in [[Psychology]] from [[Whitman College]]<ref name="Whitman2006">Interview, ''Whitman Magazine'', December 2006</ref> in [[Walla Walla, Washington|Walla Walla]] where he was a member of the [[Beta Theta Pi]] fraternity and participated on the speech and debate team. ==Career== ===Early roles=== Later, while living in Hawaii, West landed a role as the [[sidekick]] on a children's show called ''El Kini Popo Show'', which featured a chimp. West later took over as star of the show.<ref name="imdb">{{IMDB name| id=0001842 | name=Adam West}}</ref> In 1959, the actor moved to Hollywood and took the stage name Adam West. In his autobiography ''Back to the Batcave'' he explains that he chose 'Adam' simply because he liked the way it looked and sounded with 'West', his mother's maiden name. His close friends and family still call him "Bill". He appeared in the film ''[[The Young Philadelphians]]'' with [[Paul Newman]], and guest-starred in a number of television [[Western (genre)|Westerns]]. He guest starred on [[Edmond O'Brien]]'s [[Television syndication|syndicated]] [[crime drama]] ''[[Johnny Midnight (TV series)|Johnny Midnight]]'' and soon snagged a supporting role as [[police]] [[Sergeant]] Steve Nelson in the crime drama, ''[[The Detectives Starring Robert Taylor]]''. He portrayed [[Wild Bill Hickok]] in the episode "Westbound Stage" of the 1960 [[NBC]] [[Western (genre)|western]] series ''[[Overland Trail (TV series)|Overland Trail]]'', with [[William Bendix]] and [[Doug McClure]]. He starred in an episode of the original ''[[The Outer Limits (1963 TV series)|Outer Limits]]'' television series titled "[[The Invisible Enemy (The Outer Limits)|The Invisible Enemy]]". He made a brief appearance in the film ''[[Soldier in the Rain]]'' starring [[Jackie Gleason]] and [[Steve McQueen]] and in the 1964 film ''[[Robinson Crusoe on Mars]]''. In 1965, he starred in the comedy western ''[[The Outlaws Is Coming]]'', the last feature film starring [[The Three Stooges]]. ===Batman=== {{Main|Batman (TV series)|Batman (1966 film)}} Producer [[William Dozier]] cast West as Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman, in the television series ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'', in part after seeing West perform as the [[James Bond]]-like spy Captain Q in a [[Nestlé Quik]] television ad. West was in competition with [[Lyle Waggoner]] for the Batman role. The popular [[Camp (style)|campy]] show ran on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] from 1966 to 1968; a [[Batman (1966 film)|film version]] was released in 1966. The [[Batboat]] featured in the film was created by Austin-based company [[Glastron]], whose payment was in having the film premiere in their hometown. In conjunction with the premiere, Jean Boone of Austin CBS affiliate station [[KTBC]] interviewed the film's cast, including West.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jean Boone - Interview with Cast of Batman, The Movie (1966)|url=http://www.texasarchive.org/library/index.php?title=Jean_Boone_-_Interview_with_Cast_of_Batman%2C_The_Movie_%281966%29&gsearch=batman|work=Gordon Wilkison Collection|publisher=Texas Archive of the Moving Image|accessdate=28 July 2011|month=July|year=1966}}</ref> In 1970, West was offered the role of [[James Bond]] by [[Cubby Broccoli]] for the film ''[[Diamonds Are Forever (film)|Diamonds Are Forever]]''. West declined, later stating in his autobiography that he believed the role should always be played by someone British (despite the fact that an [[George Lazenby|Australian]] had already played him). ===Post-Batman career=== [[File:Adam West 1989 crop 2.jpg|left|thumb|West in 1989 at the [[41st Primetime Emmy Awards]].]] After his high-profile role, West, along with [[Burt Ward]] and [[Yvonne Craig]] (who played crimefighting sidekicks [[Robin (comics)|Robin]] and [[Batgirl]]), was severely [[Typecasting (acting)|typecast]]. West's first post-Caped Crusader role was in the film ''[[The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1969 film)|The Girl Who Knew Too Much]]'' (1969). His lead performance against type as cynical tough guy Johnny Cain did not erode his Batman image; the movie was a box office disappointment. For a time, West made a living doing personal appearances as Batman. In 1972, when Ward and Craig reprised their ''Batman'' roles for a TV public-service announcement about equal pay for women, West was absent. Instead, [[Dick Gautier]] filled in as Batman. One of his more memorable Batman appearances post-series was when he made an appearance in the [[Memphis, Tennessee]] based [[United States Wrestling Association]] to engage in a war of words with [[Jerry Lawler|Jerry "The King" Lawler]] while wearing the cowl and a [[track suit]] and even name-dropping [[Spider-Man]], though he is a [[Marvel Comics]] hero.<ref>[http://www.pwinsider.com/article/48657/youtube-video-classic-batman-adam-west-vs-jerry-lawleryes-really.html?p=1 Pro Wrestling Insider: Youtube Video Classic - "Batman" Adam West vs. Jerry Lawler]</ref> West subsequently appeared in the theatrical films ''The Marriage of a Young Stockbrocker'' (1971), ''The Curse of the Moon Child'' (1972), ''The Specialist'' (1975), ''[[Hardcore (1977 film)|Hardcore]]'' (1977), ''[[Hooper (film)|Hooper]]'' (as himself; 1978), ''[[The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood]]'' (1980) and ''One Dark Night'' (1983). West also appeared in such television films as ''The Eyes of Charles Sand'' (1972), ''Poor Devil'' (1973), ''[[Nevada Smith Tv|Nevada Smith]]'' (1975), ''For the Love of It'' (1980) and ''I Take These Men'' (1983). He did guest shots on the TV shows ''[[Love, American Style]]'', ''[[The Big Valley]]'', ''[[Night Gallery]]'', ''[[Alias Smith and Jones]]'', ''[[Mannix]]'', ''[[Emergency!]]'', ''[[Alice (TV series)|Alice]]'', ''[[Police Woman (TV series)|Police Woman]]'', ''[[Operation Petticoat]]'', ''The American Girls'', ''[[Vegas (TV series)|Vegas]]'', ''Big Shamus Little Shamus'', ''[[Laverne & Shirley]]'', ''[[Bewitched]]'', ''[[Fantasy Island]]'', ''[[The Love Boat]]'', ''[[Hart to Hart]]'', ''[[Zorro (1990 TV series)|Zorro]]'', ''[[King of Queens]]'', and ''[[George Lopez (TV series)|George Lopez]]''. West was also in an episode of ''[[Bonanza]]'' that supposedly never aired until reruns were shown. West also made several guest appearances as himself on ''[[Family Feud]]''. ===Return to ''Batman''=== West often reprised his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne, first in the short-lived animated series, ''[[The New Adventures of Batman]]'', and in other shows such as ''[[Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show]]'', ''[[The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians]]'' (succeeding [[Olan Soule]] in the role). In 1979, West once again put on the [[Batsuit]] for the live-action TV special ''[[Legends of the Superheroes]]''.<ref name="imdb"/> West made an appearance in a 1992 [[Beware the Gray Ghost|episode]] of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]], but not as Batman (as the role of Batman was already being played by [[Kevin Conroy]]). Instead, he portrayed Simon Trent, a washed-up actor who used to play a superhero in a TV series called ''The [[Gray Ghost (fictional character)|Gray Ghost]]'' and who now has difficulty finding work. West later had a recurring role as the voice of [[Mayor Grange]] in the [[Kids' WB|WB]] animated series ''[[The Batman (TV series)|The Batman]]''. The actor vocally reprised his role as Batman for the [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] [[animated]] short film ''[[Batman: New Times]]''. He co-starred with [[Mark Hamill]], who vocally portrayed [[Joker (comics)|The Joker]] and had originally played the role on ''Batman: The Animated Series''. West also voiced [[Thomas Wayne]], Bruce Wayne's father, in an episode of the animated series ''[[Batman: The Brave and the Bold]]''. In the same series, he played Batman's prototype robot, aptly named "Protobot", or "Proto" for short. FLOSS Magazing has reported that Adam West has been spotted around the set of ''[[The Dark Knight Rises]]'' for a cameo appearance.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wilding|first=Josh|title=Adam West Reportedly "Confirmed" To Cameo In The Dark Knight Rises!|url=http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=41063|publisher=comic book movie|accessdate=July 5, 2011}}</ref> ===1990s – 2000s=== [[File:Adam West at WonderCon 2009 1.JPG|thumb|right|West at [[WonderCon]] 2009]] During the 1990s, West's status as a pop culture icon led to appearances as himself in the film ''[[Drop Dead Gorgeous (film)|Drop Dead Gorgeous]]'' and in several television series, including ''[[NewsRadio]]'', ''[[Murphy Brown]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'', ''[[The Ben Stiller Show]]''<ref>[http://www.hollywood.com/celebritydetail/Adam_West/196555 Adam West biography] at Hollywood.com.</ref> and ''[[The Drew Carey Show]]''.<ref>[http://www.tv.com/the-drew-carey-show/hotel-drew/episode/100679/summary.html Hotel Drew] episode summary at TV.com.</ref> In 1991, he starred in the pilot episode of ''[[Lookwell]]'', in which he portrayed a has-been TV action hero who falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life. The pilot, written by [[Conan O'Brien]] and [[Robert Smigel]] in their pre-''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien|Late Night]]'' period, aired on [[NBC]] that summer but was not picked up as a series.<ref>[http://www.tvguide.com/detail/celebrity.aspx?tvobjectid=195086&more=ucCelebInfo Conan O'Brien bio] at TVGuide.com.</ref> It was later broadcast on the [[Trio channel]], under the "Brilliant But Cancelled" bloc.<ref>Wilonsky, Robert.

Retrieved 2007-05-30.</ref> Noticeably, he played a washed up superhero in the ''[[Goosebumps (TV series)|Goosebumps]]'' television series episode "[[Attack of the Mutant]]". The boy hero is a [[comic book]] [[geek]] whose favorite superhero, Galloping Gazelle (West's character), is portrayed as fading and on the verge of retirement. Towards the end, the boy is shocked to learn that the Gazelle is real, though he must save the day by himself. In 1994, West, with Jeff Rovin, wrote his autobiography, ''Back to the Batcave'' published by Berkeley Books. He also appeared as a guest in the animated talk show ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'' in an episode titled "Batmantis," where he displayed his book. In 2003, West and Burt Ward starred in the TV-movie ''[[Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt]]'', alongside Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar, and Lee Meriwether. Jack Brewer portrayed West in flashbacks to the production of ''Batman''. In 2005, West appeared in the [[CBS]] show ''[[The King of Queens]]''. In the episode, Spence first asks [[Lou Ferrigno]] to go to a [[sci-fi convention]]. But when Spence meets West (playing himself), he leaves Ferrigno and asks West to come with him. West appears prominently in the 2006 video for California band [[STEFY]]'s song "Chelsea" as "Judge Adam West", presiding over the courtroom scene. In 2007, Adam West portrayed a defense attorney for Benny on the show ''[[George Lopez (TV series)|George Lopez]]'', and starred as "The Boss" in the movie comedy ''Sexina: Popstar PI''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2008/02/15/adam-west-and-davy-jones-meet-sexina/ |title=Adam West and Davy Jones meet Sexina |accessdate=2008-11-16}}</ref> Following the release of a Batman game, a host of the show ''[[X-Play]]'' visited Adam West on the show. In 2009, West played himself in the episode "[[Apollo, Apollo]]" of ''[[30 Rock]]''. ====Voice-over work==== [[Image:Adam West on Family Guy.png|thumb|right|West's character on ''Family Guy''.]] Having a distinctive voice, West built a career doing voice-over work on a number of animated series (often as himself), including appearances on ''[[The Simpsons]]'', ''[[Rugrats]]'', ''[[The Critic]]'', ''[[The Boondocks (TV series)|The Boondocks]]'', ''[[Histeria!]]'', ''[[Kim Possible]]'', and ''[[Johnny Bravo]]''. He also appeared in five episodes of Nickelodeon's cartoon, ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'', as a cat-obsessed version of himself who is famous for playing a superhero called [[List of The Fairly OddParents characters#Celebrities|Catman]], and who actually believes he is Catman. Catman is a parody of his earlier character as [[Batman]]. A later appearance of Adam West in ''The Fairly OddParents'' world was a parody of himself, hired to play the role of the Crimson Chin in the movie of the same name. Yet another appearance on the show had him as himself in a Fairy-sponsored video about how to cope with losing ones fairy godparents. Since 2000, West has made regular appearances on the animated series ''[[Family Guy]]'', on which he plays [[Adam West (Family Guy)|Mayor Adam West]], the lunatic mayor of Quahog, [[Rhode Island]]. His role has given him a new wave of popularity since Batman.<ref>See main article at [[Adam West (Family Guy)]]</ref> Some of his latest voice-over performances were playing the role of Uncle Art in the [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]] film ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'', and voicing the young [[mermaidman|Mermaid Man]] (along with Burt Ward, who voiced the young [[Barnacleboy|Barnacle Boy]]) in the cartoon show ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. West also played the voice of General Carrington in the video game ''[[XIII (game)|XIII]]'', and has voiced other video games like ''[[Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure]]'', ''Chicken Little: Ace in Action'', ''[[Scooby-Doo! Unmasked|Scooby Doo! Unmasked]]'' and ''[[Attack of the Mutant (video game)|Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant]]''.
