  • Resumen

  • During the second half of Tony’s fascinating conversation with actor Burt Ward they discuss how martial arts legend Bruce Lee did his very first on-screen fight scene with him on an episode of “Batman”, how he was denied having a stunt double during his initial time playing Robin as the stuntman did not resemble him, his unfortunate string of emergency room visits his first week shooting Batman due to the dangerous stunts they had him do on set, how the bulge in his tights enraged the Catholic League of Decency leading to the studio taking drastic measures to fix the problem, his memories of all the world famous guest stars they had on the show week after week, how he went from playing the Boy Wonder on TV to becoming a canine and cat crusader in real life, the heartwarming story of how he & his wife have saved thousands of dogs through their pet rescue & adoption charitable organization Gentle Giants, how they created the healthiest dog & cat food in the world called Gentle Giants Pet Food, and his thoughts about finally receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
