Riddle me this: What sounds like a Wolverine but looks like an ENigma?
Frank Gorshin (1933–2005), singing “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” in a Toluca Lake parking garage.
If you’d told me as a child that I’d pull into the lot of the Oakwood on Barham around 9am on 11 June 1999 in preparation for an internship at The X-Files and that the first human being I’d encounter in Los Angeles County would be the man who played the Riddler…I’d only care about the Riddler bit because none of the rest of it would make any sense to a child.
Even as an adult—in retrospect—I only really care about the Riddler bit. Having Frank Gorshin welcome you to L.A. with Rodgers & Hammerstein really sets a ridiculously high bar.
