Lookwell!
From one West to another. This clip is a pilot for a show staring Adam West, where he plays a washed up actor who gets typecast thanks to a role he played. What made this different from real life is that the actor has a tough time separating himself from his persona, and he thinks he's a REAL crime fighting detective. A great self-depreciating performance from the man who owned the Batman identity. A product of the creative minds of Conan O'Brien & Robert Smigel, it's too bad this one never got picked up as a series. But thanks to Brilliant But Cancelled gems like this can get the recognition they should have received.
