The Batman: TAS supporting cast never got the credit it deserved. Efrem Zimbalist WAS Alfred. Bob Hastings WAS Jim Gordon. So much so that I'm not convinced Kevin Conroy would be as iconic a Batman had he not had so much to play off of.

It's really upsetting to lose someone like him. His contributions are a significant part of my childhood days. I loved him as Alfred, and I loved him as Doc Ock. It's great that he lived a long, fulfilling life. R.I.P Efrem.

It's interesting to note that many of the actors who've portrayed Alfred have lived very long lives. Ian Abercrombie was the youngest passing away at 77 due to sudden Kidney failure.

Other than that William Austin and Alan Napier lived well into their 80s, Michael Gough and Efrem Zimbalist into their 90s, Michael Cain seems pretty spry for being in his 80s, Jermey Irons seems quite healthy at 65, and Sean Pertwee doesn't at all look his 50 years.

Mr. Zimbalist lived a good long life, gave great performances, and we are in his debt.

R.I.P. other Alfred.

He was the "true" Alfred to me as well.

All things considered, 95 years is a hell of a run.

Thank you for your service you kind, old man, you will be missed.

That is horrible, horrible news. RIP.
