Neil Hamilton (Actor)Neil Hamilton (9 September, 1899–24 September, 1984) was an American actor famous for his role as Commissioner Gordon on the Batman TV series of the 1960s. As an only child, he was raised in a devoutly Roman Catholic household. His show business career began when he secured a job as a shirt model in magazine ads. After this he became interested in acting and joined several stock companies. This allowed him to secure his first film role in 1918, but got his big break from D.W. Griffith in The White Rose (1923). After performing in several more Griffith films, Hamilton was signed by Paramount in the late 1920s and soon became one of that studio's most popular leading men. he was steadily employed in supporting roles, and worked for just about every studio in Hollywood. He is probably best known to audiences, however, as Police Commissioner Gordon in the TV series Batman. He played the character of Commisioner Gordon very straight laced and did not think much of Adam West's Batman. He passed away in 1984 after an asthma attack.
