June 19, 20179 yr I was watching the opening credits to the Wonder Woman TV show the other day where it showed one of the main actors being a man named "Lee Waggoner" who looked a whole lot like "Lyle Waggoner" who was on The Carol Burnett Show years ago. Sure enough it was him, and apparently he had gone by both names along the way in his career. Reading up on him I also discovered that he was a finalist in the running for the title role of Batman before losing it to Adam West, Apparently he was just a step away from forever being known for the role of Batman. Though he's had a relatively consistent acting career I don't think that he ever achieved the fame or household name that Adam West did, but with all that said Lyle is now 82 years old with a net worth of $10 Million, while when Adam West passed away he was worth $8 Million. Lyle's wife since 1961 is a financial consultant, so that probably didn't hurt him any.
