Burt Ward
Robin the Boy Wonder
At the age of 20, Ward auditioned for the part of Robin. After beating out over 1,100 other kids for the part, he was cast alongside Adam West in the title role, and the two would go on to become pop culture icons. First airing as a mid-season replacement, BATMAN took the ratings, and the world, by storm with its vivid colors and larger than life villains, played by some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
The series went on to produce 120 episodes and a full length feature film. The multi-level appeal of the show made it a life-long favorite for fans young and old. The show still airs today in 50 countries worldwide. Burt Ward and Adam West quickly became household names and remain that way today.
Today, Burt and his wife Tracy operate the largest giant breed dog rescue in the world, Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions, Inc. They have rescued over 14,000 dogs in the last eighteen years through this charitable non-profit organization.
