No One Believed These Burt Ward Stories! Until They Watched This

Описание: No One Believed These Burt Ward Stories! Until They Watched This
A 19-year-old kid with zero acting experience beat out 1,100 trained actors for the role of Robin. Three years later, Hollywood threw him away. Was Burt Ward actually talented—or just incredibly lucky?

In 1965, Burt Ward walked into his first audition ever. He'd never taken an acting class. Never read a script. Never been on a set. The producers cast him on the spot. Within months, he was starring alongside Adam West in ABC's Batman—one of the biggest TV phenomena of the 1960s.

But behind the scenes? Ward was getting paid minimum wage while doing dangerous stunts that sent him to the ER dozens of times. ABC made him take pills to "shrink" a certain part of his anatomy. And he turned down The Graduate because the network wouldn't let him do outside work.

When Batman got cancelled in 1968, Ward was 22 years old—and unemployable. The same qualities that made him perfect for Robin made it impossible for casting directors to see him as anything else.

This is the real story of Burt Ward, the Boy Wonder who never learned to act but gave a performance that 1,100 trained actors couldn't.
