Quotes:
  • To be perfectly honest, I didn't even know what I was trying out for. The producers didn't tell me. I remember that I went in for my screen test and two guys pulled off my pants and pulled on these leotards. I was afraid I was auditioning for a porno flick. - on auditioning for "Batman" (1966/II)
  • I was new. This was my first job. One of the scenes was in the same show, where The Riddler shoots me with a dart in the arm, and I fall down, and he presses a button in the Batmobile, and all these fireworks go off. They said it was a one take thing and nobody could move. Well, here I didn't move, and the ashes burned through my cape, and I had third degree burns and scars on my arm because I didn't want to make any noise and ruin the shot. - on shooting "Batman" (1966/II)
  • Playing Robin was everything I could want. It was me being allowed to be myself. I was exactly what the producers imagined Robin would be like.

Burt Ward Trivia
  • Runs a charity that rescues and cares for abandoned Great Dane dogs.
  • Wrote an autobiography titled "Boy Wonder: My Life In Tights," in which he described his experiences on the "Batman" (1966/II) TV series' set, his relationship with co-star Adam West, and his sexual escapades with his fans.
  • When asked to give a speech at Harvard about his role on "Batman" (1966/II), he brought the original costume, said to be valued at half a million dollars. Some students came up to him dressed as security guards and told him they would keep the costume safe. Then in the middle of the speech, one student stood up and asked, "When is a costume not a costume? When it's stolen." The lights dimmed and the students grabed the costume and made off. After snapping pictures with one another in the cape, they later called Ward and gave the costume back. The ringleader of the gang? Harvard Lampoon editor, Conan O'Brien.
  • Daughter, Lisa, born in 1966; daughter, Melody, born in 1991
