Five years ago we lost one of the best actors of his generation. Michael Gough was 94 when he died. One could say that Bruce Wayne has lost his best friend and father figure.
Michael Gough, the actor who helped the Caped Crusader out of jams as Alfred the butler in Tim Burton's Batman and starred in dozens of films over a career that spanned five decades left this world on this day. After being tapped for Alfred Pennyworth in 1989's Batman, Gough reprised the part in 1992's Batman Returns, also directed by Burton, as well as two Joel Schumacher-helmed sequels, 1995's Batman Forever and 1997's atrocious Batman and Robin. To me this man defined the character of Alfred Pennyworth, he brought this character to life from the pages of the comic books that I read as a kid.
Let's all remember the great man Michael Gough was on this day. I would also like to know who is your favorite actor to portray the role of Alfred Pennyworth? As usual please leave your comments in the section below.
