TOPIC OF THE DAY

Alan Napier

Alan Napier (born Alan W. Napier-Clavering, 7 January 1903 in King's Norton, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England[1] – 8 August 1988 in Santa Monica, California, United States) was an English character actor. He is best known for playing Alfred in the 1960s live-action Batman television series.

Napier was a cousin of Neville Chamberlain, Britain's prime minister from 1937 to 1940 and the great-great grandson of author Charles Dickens. He was stage-struck from childhood and after graduating from Clifton College, the tall 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), booming-voiced Napier studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, then later was engaged by the Oxford Players, where he worked with such raw young talent as Sir John Gielgud and Robert Morley.
