Background information

Zimbalist's most famous roles are that of private investigator Stuart Bailey on 77 Sunset Strip, and Inspector Lewis Erskine in the television series The F.B.I.. This role was referenced in the 1989 Secret Origins of the World's Greatest Superheroes story "The Man Who Falls", when Bruce tried out for the FBI, but was rejected because he was a bad shot. In addition to doing the voice of Alfred on Batman: The Animated Series, he played the villain Dr. Octopus in the 1994 animated series Spider-Man. In a fitting twist, he also starred in the 1990 live-action Zorro television series as Don Alejandro de la Vega - the father of the titular character who served as an inspiration for Batman’s creation.
