Holy Batman, Batman! So what did Adam West do before he starred in the 1966 series, Batman - where he played the Caped Crusader? In the 50s, he was drafted in the US Army and became an announcer on American Forces Network television. Once he was discharged, West moved to Hawaii where was cast in the role of sidekick on the local TV show, The Kini Popo Show, which also featured a chimp named Peaches. (No seriously.)
West appeared in a slew of Westerns and crime shows. One early notable role was in the 1965 movie, The Three Stooges in The Outlaws Is Coming - which was directed by Moe's son-in-law, Norman Maurer.
