Buono was one of the funniest actors to play a Batman villain on the show. When he discovered the Batcave, and the identities of Batman & Robin only to get hit in the head by a rock right before his reveal was one of the most hilarious scenes in the series.

As a kid I loved loved loved King Tut on Batman. Victor played him perfectly and was really able to capture the imaginations of the young audience. As an adult, I continue to be impressed with his Shakspearian style of delivering lines. Victor was truly one of a kind and he's been deeply missed. 💓

Tut is my favourite villain. "I'll be a mummy's Uncle" never fails to have me rolling in laughter and it's all down to victor's performance.

Buono played the part in a way that lent itself to the overall Batman '66 franchise - campy, corny and over the top! He was magnificent. Trivia: King Tut's real name was Prof. William Omaha McElroy.

He loved the character,he said he could do something his drama teacher told him not to: Overact!

"King Tut" was the oddball villain. He was usually, really, an Egyptologist (Professor or some such) who identified as Tutankhamun, pharaoh of Egypt in the 'old days'. Then he was a villain and rather competent in villainy. I liked the character and I deeply enjoyed Mr. Buono's portrayal. I was quite amused that 'Tut" was not really a villain, more an accidental villain.

Yes - he somehow made a strange movie even stranger. I always thought him to be the poor man's Sydney Greenstreet. Victor was an actor of renown.

I knew right away this was going to be about his size. Yes. he was a big, BIG man. Very sad that he died at only age 43 of a heart attack, but not terribly surprising, unfortunately. The human heart is not designed to support a body that size for too many decades of living.

Hi! I research Victor (that's why I saw your video). He was such a beautiful man inside and out, incredibly talented, witty beyond words, erudite, elegant, charming and most importantly he had a huge heart. Everyone who told me about Victor mentioned his kindness and gentleness. And he was a true Shakespearean actor he did dozens of Shakespeare plays ( he was an expert on the matter too), contemporary plays and a few musicals. His Falstaff (his favorite role) is still rated as one of the ten best portrayals there are, the reviews he got for the role (he played it five times) almost make it sound mythical. Many agree that his fans who only ever got to see him on screen never saw "the real Buono" since Hollywood really didn't let him show everything he was capable of because of the typecasting. I'm always saddened how few people know what an amazing man and actor he was. If you ever want to make another video about him you can hit me up, I'd love to provide you with info/material!

Yes, Mr. Schubert was fun! And he was again in his old man get up. He really wanted to get away from the villain roles since the 60s and kind of had managed that in the 70s but decided to take the role in Man From Atlantis because they were no guns. Victor was anti guns and anti violence and in the series there are fantastical schemes , he liked that.

​@@felipeantonio777 I know a lot of people think he looked older than he was but I actually disagree. I think he barely changed in 20 years but he was a fantastic character actor and would change his looks to fit the parts. When he played Falstaff he used to actually shave his head and bleached all his hair white for weeks. The balding and gray hair in general made him appear older but I mean, if he wanted he could have died it and worn hairpieces like so many of his colleagues. But he wasn't as vain and since he had played much older men since he was a teenager it was actually helpful for his career. Anyway, no I haven't read that book but I've seen a couple of times when people discussed it. So I don't have much of an opinion on it, except that of course the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood was much bigger than people back then knew but also that's it very easy to make stuff up when people are dead and then make money of off it because "gay stuff" is still seen as sooo scandalous. And I'm not a fan of the scene of Victor in the porn cinema, I thought it was distasteful. I see what the point of it was in the narrative if this fictional character but I would have been surprised if the real Victor would have been fine with it. The real Victor wasn't a fan of explicit sexuality in entertainment and even though he was most likely gay he was very, very private about it. I've talked to many people who knew him back in the day, went to school with him, were neighbors, worked with him, his family. And no one knew he was gay or saw him with partners, they just assumed he was straight or didn't care. I only found one person who used to be friends with a man Victor had dated. That's it. I have also heard from women who had been on dates with him and Victor was engaged to one of his best female friends from the theater who was a costume designer. As I said he was most likely gay, but I don't think he was someone who would frequent porn cinemas. Not to bash on the people who did but from what I know I think Victor wouldn't have been the type for it, he was more classy and too introverted. I wonder where the narrative comes from that he was the 60s equivalent to "out and proud" back then but from what I've heard and read from people who knew him he absolutely wasn't that. And he was also a practicing Catholic which must have made the whole thing and how he might have expressed his sexuality even more complicated.

Victor (King-Tut) Buono was hilarious, especially when he'd say the name um-Bat-m-Man, he would always make me laugh!!!

King Tut was a fascinatingly developed criminal: the extensive knowledge of the Egyptologist whose mental breakdown "birthed" the Tut villain made him formidable, if in a limited scope. His grandiosity made him ruthless by the the assumption of personal supremacy over all. A great villain played perfectly by a great actor! (Query responded, I will un-pause and resume the vid!)

He was my favorite villain, because of his humor and delivery of lines, larger than life. He was the only villain in 2 separate episodes, discovered that Bruce Wayne was Batman. Victor Buono would seamlessly go between speaking like King Tut to slang, it is hilarious

Ha!!! Forgot all about King Tut, he was great. The actor had roles in so many shows.

i remember King Tut as a villain watching the re-runs on t.v. in the 70's. His power was hypnosis or some sort of mind control i think. very crafty and very terrifying as a bad guy but my favorite was the Riddler.

While he portrayed a villain, He was a BIG o'l Teddy Bear. LOL! I loved the many characters he played in his short life. He was also in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Side note, If you see Goofy cartoon, How To Diet. It sooo reflects what the tailor says of Victor. Victor was one of my many favorite "Guest Villain's"

He was in a Perry Mason episode also. He played a beatnik/artist type and had a catch phrase that I can't remember anymore. His character really stood out and when you stand out in a show with Raymond Burr in it, you're doing pretty good.

Looked forward to the episodes with King Tut. Television was worth watching back then!

I always love when I can see the chart size for different countries when shopping.* Thanks Rick9g I always enjoyed King Tut episodes. Even now when studying about the Egyptian King Tut...Batman's KTuts always comes to mind. ⚱⚰ Also, the song/dance by Steve Martin.🕺🎵 Have a nice Wednesday💜

He was funny. One of my favorite Batman villains.

He played in several episodes of Perry Mason also. Plus, he used to read funny poetry on The Tonight Show, cracking Johnny up!

Here's some context: Henry VIII in later life had a 52-inch chest, and at that size 3 men could fit into his doublet. There's context. Victor Bruco was a big man with a big heart, which unfortunately was weak and took him away from the world far too soon. Thank you for detailing a bit about him.

Was always a fan of Victor Buono. Great character actor. Thanks for posting. 👍
