When Burt Ward played Robin on the 1960's Batman TV series with Adam West, he was mistreated by the TV network. His salary was the lowest for a character of his importance, and they never bothered to hire a stunt-double in an effort to cut more corners on the budget. Which caused Burt Ward to visit the emergency room dozens of times when stunts went wrong.

They wouldn't get away with that today.
I did not know that but am not surprised. I always read he was a black belt and could do his stunts notnthat he had no choice..typical studio tactics.
That's Hollywood for you. Greedy bunch, they are.
Really? I was a fan of that show, wrote about it on my blog, so to say the least I'm disappointed
