Born in Walla Walla, Washington as William West Anderson , Adam began his career as a radio DJ and TV show host. He arrived in Hollywood in 1959, after landing a contract with Warner Brothers studios. That same year, he made his feature film debut opposite Paul Newman in THE YOUNG PHILADELPIDANS. A long line of TV roles followed on shows like MAVERICK, BONANZA, and THE OUTER LIMITS, as well as a co-starring role for a season on THE DETECTIVES. But, in 1965, his life would change forever when producer, William Dozier, impressed by Adam's talent, looks, and humor, handpicked him to take on the title role of ABC's new TV series, BATMAN. It's been said the biggest pop-culture phenomena of the 1960's can be boiled down to the "Three B's": Beatles, Bond, and BATMAN. In the early 1960's Batman was simply a cartoon character in a comic book that was close to cancellation, but Adam West's performance in the ground-breaking TV adaptation propelled Batman into becoming one of the most famous characters in modem fiction. West's turn as the "classic" Batman has laid the foundation for the success of all the incarnations of the "Caped Crusader" that have followed after him. The smash success of the TV series, and the feature film that followed shortly thereafter, launched Adam West into international superstardom in 1966. After it's original run, BATMAN entered into non-stop syndication and Adam West has continued to gamer new generations of fans all over the world for the past 40 years. All the while, he's continued to work on stage, in movies and TV, and as a much sought-after voice actor. It's his wildly successful career as a voice actor that has brought him his most recent triumph as "Mayor Adam West" on the hugely popular, and critically acclaimed, TV series FAMILY GUY on the Fox network. For the past 50 years, Adam West has not only been an international television star, but also a devoted father and husband, philanthropist, and dedicated ambassador of goodwill for the entertainment industry as he greets hundreds of thousands of his fans during personal appearances all over the globe. ·k *.-:1: ·"¢::: * * * .UOLLVWOOD WALK OF FAMr; March 9, 2012 Mr. Gary Lee Moore Public Works Engineering Att: Lemuel Paco 201 N.
