The Henchmen

They were starting to skimp in the first season as Frank Gorshin only had two henchmen in the wax factory story set. Yes, there are actors who were henchmen on Batman who went on to greater things. John Crawford who worked for the Bookworm went on to being the mayor in one of the Dirty Harry movies plus was a semi regular on The Walton's as Sheriff Ep Bridges. Joe E Tata was a Riddler henchman who went on to playing a father on Beverly Hills 90210. And there were others.

Victor French (Highway to Heaven, Little House on the Prairie) was about to mow down Batman and Robin, but Zelda warned them just in time.

Norman Alden was a henchman in The Joker Trumps An Ace and Batman Sets the Pace. He was in Back to the Future and appeared in many television shows. Some of the henchmen were actually stuntmen. Al Wyatt and Gil Perkins appeared all over the place in movies and television shows. Wyatt was the stunt double for Randolph Scott in several westerns. John Dennis was in Louie's Lethal Lilac Time and also appeared in several television shows as well as From Here to Eternity and Conquest of the Planet of the Apes.

In the ep with Green Hornet, two of the henchmen were Alex Rocco, who played Moe Green in The Godfather, and Seymour Cassell, a character actor who has appeared in several of the Wes Anderson films.

hmmm  - Most of the Henchmen never spoke a word - except maybe when Mister Freeze was separated from them in the Arctic Zone of the room, right?

Doesn't King Tut have a couple of famous Henchmen - like Lloyd Haynes of Room 222 fame - and Tim O'Kelly?

Or maybe Tut just kidnaps them or something.

 Mellow Salutations!

You'd think the villains would give their henchmen guns, but no, they figured they could beat a martial arts master like Batman with just their fists, over and over.

Some of those henchmen were really tough in this series. Reminded me of some of the James Bond movies with Jaws and Odd Job
