Episode description:
Today’s guest is a pop culture legend. Burt Ward played Robin to Adam West’s Batman in the original Batman TV series back in the sixties, and the show continues to entertain new generations of viewers all these years later.
Burt shares memories of his years as the Caped Crusader’s sidekick, and gives his take on the darker tone taken by recent Batman movies. He reveals the major movie role he was made to reject and discusses his delight at being awarded a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He also tells Lauren about his new role in life as a superhero to animals, rescuing thousands of dogs and launching a nonprofit pet food company (www.gentlegiantspetfood.com), which helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
British star of stage and screen Lauren Samuels has just moved to Los Angeles to continue her career in show business. Her podcast, A Brit in LA, is for anyone who shares her fascination with Hollywood and ambition to succeed on the silver screen. Each week, Lauren interviews inspirational figures who explain how they are making their own Hollywood dreams into reality.
