<<Burt Ward (born July 6, 1945) is an American television actor and activist. He is best known for playing Robin in the television series Batman and its theatrical spin-off. The show was very popular, and aired on ABC from 1966 to 1968. Ward was born as Bert John Gervis, Jr., in Los Angeles, California. At the age of two, Ward was listed in the magazine Strange as it Seems as the world's youngest professional ice skater. He acquired the nickname "Sparky" in his youth; this could be derived from the sparks his skates used to kick up during his routines. He excelled in high school athletic activities such as football, track, and wrestling, and he was also a member of the chess club and earned a black belt in Taekwondo.
At the age of 20, Ward auditioned for the part of Robin. During this time, the show was being planned as a campy style action-adventure show, and their screen tests consisted of staged fight scenes and, at one point, Ward chopping a set of boards with his hand. Believing that people would have a hard time pronouncing Gervis (the G is soft, as in gentleman), he adopted his mother's maiden name Ward. He also changed the spelling of Bert to Burt to add "punch".
Unlike his series' lead, Adam West, Ward was required to do some dangerous stunt work, because his costume revealed more of his face, making it impractical for all of his stunt scenes to be performed by a stuntman.
During the first months of shooting, Ward was paid $350 per week. By the series' end, he was earning up to $600 a week. The series only lasted three seasons, for a total of 120 episodes; according to Ward in an interview, this was because of the high cost of production.
Burt said of his mentor/friend of more than four decades, “We were completely opposite, Adam has been in many shows, tremendous, terrific background, but very ‘Mr. Hollywood’. He wanted his tea at 4 P.M. in the afternoon, and me, I’m just like this kid ‘that doesn’t care,’ having a great time. And I think that’s one of the reasons that the public like them because Adam was very introspective and I’m just this exuberant kid.”
After the end of Batman, Ward found himself hard-pressed to find other acting jobs. Although reportedly wanted by the producer, Ward did not get the Dustin Hoffman part in The Graduate because he chose to renew his contract with the Batman TV show, and 20th Century Fox did not want to dilute his popularity and identification as Robin.
In 1994, Ward and his wife, Tracy Posner Ward, founded a charitable organization called Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions, Inc., which rescues giant breed dogs like Great Danes and some smaller breed dogs. In June 1995, Ward wrote a tell-all autobiography called Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights.>>
