RIP Frank Gorshin (TV's The Riddler)

In an odd coincidence, I was doing a Frank Gorshin imitation today at work today. No, I really was.

Rather than do the late actor (he passed away May 17 after a "battle with lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia") a disservice and merely mention the role he is most known for, I instead link to his Playbill obit, which notes that "Gorshin was nominated for a Drama Desk Award and won the Outer Critics Circle Award" for his 2002-03 performance as George Burns in Broadway's Say Goodnight, Gracie.

In terms of TV work, it appears Gorshin worked almost to the very end as "One of his final TV appearances is in a May 19 episode of TV's CSI," titled Grave Danger, directed by Quentin Tarantino. He plays himself in the episode."
