History Creator / AdamWest

Hello old chums, I'm TV's Adam West. [[JustForFun/RoleAssociation You may recognize me]] as the 1960s ''Series/{{Batman}}''. Once upon a time, I was considered a serious leading man. [[IWasQuiteALooker I was a handsome devil back in that day, as you can see here.]] [[SilverFox I still am, as a matter of fact!]] However, [[IAmNotSpock I couldn't get serious work]] after ''Batman'' ended. I am currently known for [[ActorAllusion portraying eccentric versions of myself]]. I embraced it and even have [[AdamWesting a trope named after me]]. Almost every role I've had since is either a parody of Batman the goofy superhero, Adam West the washed-up actor, or both at once (as in my role on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'').

I played superhero the Galloping Gazelle in the TV episode and video game of ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'' story ''Attack of the Mutant''. In the TV version, the Galloping Gazelle was washed-up and bailed on the kid protagonist because he thought he was too old for the job.

Recently, I provided the voice of Bruce Wayne's father Thomas in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''. [[CastingGag As a bonus]] [[DatingCatwoman Julie Newmar voiced Martha Wayne]]. I later returned to provide the voice of Batman's GentleGiant robot "Proto".

Or my role in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE18BewareTheGray "Ghost The Gray Ghost"]], where I play a washed-up actor who can't get any decent work because everyone associates me with my role as a cheesy superhero.

I played a washed-up superhero who turned out to be a deluded actor on ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. I played ''another'' deluded actor in the pilot for ''Lookwell'', a Creator/ConanOBrien and Robert Smigel-produced pilot. In this version, I had formerly played a detective on TV and thought I could use my actor training as GenreSavvy to solve real crimes. I also played a super-powered [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids pizza delivery boy]] in ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons''.

->''"Medication time, Mr. West."''
-->-- Said to Adam West while ''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} playing himself]]'' in an AOL advertisement.

->''"Nobody messes with Adam We."''
-->-- The man himself on '''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''' after deciding that the letters missing in his name on his Lite Brite board was intentional.

->''"[[Series/{{Batman}} Of course I'm the real Batman]]. See, here's a picture of me with Robin."''

I played a washed-up superhero who turned out to be a deluded actor on ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. And I played ''another'' deluded actor in the pilot for ''Lookwell'', a Creator/ConanOBrien and Robert Smigel-produced pilot. In this version, I had formerly played a detective on TV and thought I could use my actor training as GenreSavvy to solve real crimes. And a super-powered [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids pizza delivery boy]] in ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons''.

I also played a goofy rendition of myself on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', in which I drive the Batmobile from the show (which is now a broken down wreck), complain about the Creator/MichaelKeaton Batman films [''*taps his pecs*'' - [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Pure. West."]]], and dance the "Batusi" while The Simpsons slowly back away. Also ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo''.

I even played a lawyer defending a rap star who made a video of himself whizzing on a schoolgirl in ''TheBoondocks''. In typical over-the-top West fashion, of course. It's like he.. I mean I.. don't even ''want'' to stop AdamWesting anymore.

In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' episode "The Legion of Super Writers", I voiced a superhero-portrayed Creator/ErnestHemingway. Currently, my biggest role is as the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} [[TheDanza Adam West]], Mayor of Quahog in ''FamilyGuy''.

Following the release of a Batman game, a host of the show ''{{X-Play}}'' visited me on the show.

I also played a goofy rendition of myself on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', in which I drive the Batmobile from the show (which is now a broken down wreck), complain about the MichaelKeaton Batman films [''*taps his pecs*'' - "Pure West."], and dance the "Batusi" while The Simpsons slowly back away. Also ''JohnnyBravo''.

I played a cab driver in the low budget superhero spoof film ''Super Capers'', and am easily the most watchable part in it. I just need to show Chris Nolan that I've still got star power in the movies [[BatmanTheMovie like before]]. It's a crying shame he hasn't asked me to be a part of ''Film/TheDarkKnightSaga''. I can do a great raspy voice.

Bizarrely, I also voiced Mayor Grange, the Mayor of Gotham City in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', [[YouKeepUsingThatWord which begs the question]] of why ChristopherNolan hasn't cast me in any of his versions of the ''Batman'' movies. Shame. (Bizarrely, you say?)

Fun Fact: I was offered the role of Film/JamesBond in ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'', but [[WhatCouldHaveBeen I respectfully declined]]. Bond should always be played by a Brit.

I also guest starred as Mermaid Man in an episode of ''SpongebobSquarepants''.

I recently appeared in ''Series/ThirtyRock'' as myself at Jack Donaghy's birthday party. After I flubbed the introduction and got thrown out, I complained that I was promised a sandwich and hasn't received it. Silly me.
