William West Anderson (born September 19, 1928), better known by his stage name Adam West, is an American actor.

He has done voice work on animated series such as The Fairly OddParents and Family Guy, in both of which he voices fictional versions of himself.

Biography

Adam West est le fils d'Otto West Anderson et d'Audrey V. Speer.

Le producteur William Dozier, après l'avoir vu déguisé en agent secret dans une publicité pour Nesquik, lui offre le rôle de Bruce Wayne et de son alter ego, Batman, pour une série télévisée : Batman. Cette série de super-héros, diffusée sur ABC de 1966 à 1968, connaît un tel succès que Leslie H. Martinson en tire un film. Adam West a fait campagne pour la guerre du Viêt Nam lancée par le gouvernement Johnson avec une publicité où, dans ses habits de Batman, il encourageait les enfants à acheter des timbres scolaires subventionnant l'effort de guerre.

Adam West joua dans de nombreuses séries américaines et prêta également sa voix dans plusieurs dessins-animés de l'univers Batman.

En 1970, Cubby Broccoli lui propose le rôle de James Bond dans Les diamants sont éternels, mais il estime, comme il l'expliquera plus tard dans son autobiographie, que ce rôle ne convient qu'à des acteurs britanniques, et il refuse.


Mort
Adam West est mort le soir du 9 juin 2017 à Los Angeles (Californie) des suites d'une leucémie.

In the small town of Oakey Oaks, Chicken Little rings the school bell and warns everyone to run for their lives, allowing the whole town into a frenzied panic with much damage ensuing. Eventually, the Head of the Fire Department calms down enough to ask him what's going on and Little explains that a piece of the sky shaped like a stop sign had fallen on his head when he was sitting under the big oak tree in the town square; however, he is unable to find it. His father, Buck Cluck, assumes that this "piece of sky" was just an acorn that had fallen off the tree and had hit him on the head, making Little the laughing stock of the town.

The gang travels to Hawaii on a free trip from a surfing company called "Goha Aloha"---the company wants Daphne to design some new swimwear for them. The gang also goes there to see the Big Kahuna of Hanahuna Surfing Contest. However, the contest used to only be open for the natives and not for mainlanders, but now the mayor has made it open for everybody. Many locals are angry because of this, most notably Manu Tuiama, a beefcake local surfer, and Little Jim, a friend of his. A few days before the contest, the evil Wiki-Tiki spirit and its little demons attacked the village and kidnapped Snookie, Manu's beautiful girlfriend. This drives away most of the tourists and surfers, and the locals think the spirit is angry that the surfing contest is open to anybody, and also that a new resort, Coconut Beach Condominiums, is being built on supposedly sacred ground by a local real estate agent named Ruben Laluna. The gang also meets Jared Moon, a representative from the Goha Aloha-company---when the gang meets Jared Moon in Hanahuna, he's selling tiki charms that are supposed to ward off evil demons. The mayor still won't cancel the contest, even after the Tiki demons attack again at a feast run by Laluna.
