Victor Buono

In 1980, Buono played the memory-impaired Reverend Jim Ignatowski's millionaire father on Taxi (1978). In actuality, he was only eight months older than Christopher Lloyd, who played Jim. Buono's death in 1982 was written into the series with an episode about Jim's father passing away.
Became very popular on the television talk show circuit due to his wit and wisdom. He made several appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) which helped put his comedy album "Heavy!" on the map. He performed a special version of "Fat Man's Prayer", and sold over 60,000 the following week. Other cuts included "A Word to the Wide" and "We're the Most".
Will always be remembered for his roles as the nefarious King Tut and Count Carlos Manzeppi on the television series Batman (1966) and Les mystères de l'Ouest (1965), respectively.
Buono liked to read and write, and one of his main hobbies was Shakespeare. He was also highly regarded as a gourmet chef.
Attended and graduated from Villanova University in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania.

Being on Batman (1966) allowed me to do something we actors are taught never to do: overact.
In 1938, of parents properly licensed to produce babies, I was born. I am now rich, famous, devilishly handsome and thirty-three years old. And I don't anticipate a time in the future when I shall be anything other than rich, famous, devilishly handsome and thirty-three years old.
I've heard or read about actors being asked the immortal question "Why have you never married?". They answer with the immortal excuse "I just haven't found the right girl." Because I'm on the hefty side, no one's asked me yet. If they do, that's the answer I'll give. After all, if it was good enough for Monty Clift or Sal Mineo...
[on Shakespeare] The more you study him, the greater he grows.
