1. The Riddler on Batman, right?

(I had to Google him.) That's sad.

2. Yes - that's him

My earliest recollections of him are tv appearances when he was much younger, where he would do his mimicry. He could change his face into just about anyone.

7. My memories of the 60's are grounded in that show.

How weird is that? I just remember the extremely unique cast of characters, the odd camera angles, the self-mocking dialog, and good always triumphing over bad. And Gorshen fit in beautifully.

3. Wasn't he just on the road with a George Burns show?

kind of a tribute to George and Gracie? I mean, like less than two months ago. He wasn't that old - only 72, I think.

5. His best role: on Star Trek

The guy who was black on the left side and white on the right side, pursuing -- hating -- the guy who was black on the right side and white on the left side. Or maybe I've got it backwards. But wasn't that the point?

6. That's one of my favorite episodes

8. Ok, you're not going to remember this one

but...."Where the Boys Are" 1960 - he was the near blind beatnik bass player. RIP Frank.
