Alan Napier also appeared on Twilight Zone in Passage On The Lady Anne from the 4th season.
More facts,
He was the Grandfather of Brian Forster (Chris Partridge)
He is a direct decendant of Charles Dickens.
at least one reference book claims he played butlers in so many movies but the fact is he never played a butler until Batman.
Heres a quote from Alan Napier:
"I had never read comics before I [was hired for 'Batman']. My agent rang up and said, 'I think you are going to play on "Batman,"' I said 'What is "Batman"?' He said, 'Don't you read the comics?' I said, 'No, never.' He said, 'I think you are going to be Batman's butler.' I said, 'How do I know I want to be Batman's butler?' It was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard of. He said, 'It may be worth over $100,000.' So I said I was Batman's butler."
