Burt Ward Wallpapers

Burt Ward (born Bert John Gervis Jr. July 6, 1945) is best known for his work as Robin, the "Boy Wonder", in the 1960s television series, Batman. He starred alongside Adam West from 1966 to 1968.Ward was born in Los Angeles, California. At the age of 2, he was listed in the magazine Strange as it Seems as the world's youngest professional ice skater. At the age of 19, working for a minor real estate company, he decided to audition for the part of Robin, without having ever read a "Batman" comic book. Ward was selected for the role of Robin, stepping onto the screen in 1966 with the debut of Batman. Unfortunately, unlike his partner, Ward was required to act during dangerous stuntwork because his costume revealed more of his face than a stuntman could compensate for.
After the end of Batman, Ward found himself hard-pressed for other acting jobs. Ward only reemerged on the movie scene to act in small, low-budget films such as Virgin High. Ward admitted in an interview that playing Robin "killed my career." Ward also claims that he turned down the Dustin Hoffman part in The Graduate, because he decided to renew his Batman contract. Ever since, Ward has deeply regretted to turning down the role of Benjamin Braddock, as he was typecast and Hoffman went on to be one of Hollywood's greatest actors. He did, however, appear in numerous reunions with co-star Adam West. The most memorable reunions included Ward and West reprising their roles as Batman and Robin on a short-lived animated television series called The New Adventures of Batman and the 2003 television movie Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt.
