Burgess Meredith: Batman and Rocky Series

[@patgogan7324]

This man was a legend nothing short of a legend

[@beerbandit291]

People watch the old films because the new films generally are........

[@rockys201]

RIP Burgess Meredith. Very humble, yet brilliant man

[@johnpruden6879]

Bergess Meredith was a very legendary actor, one of a kind. R.I.P.

[@stefanosoderi4152]

I don’t think there’s anyone else who could’ve played Mickey better than this guy! Loved his character, hard nosed no nonsense guy

[@lookslikenapoleon]

I'll miss you Mick...

[@kevinbutler8824]

Where ever you are,Burgess? I'll always remember you as"The Penquin".

[@merlip80]

Just saw his death scene in Rocky 3 and it made me cry like a baby,tremendously powerful acting as he takes his final breath.

[@roshni699]

i also cry every time than i watch

[@audreyderrick4972]

"Rock.. he'll knock you into tomorrow rock" 😂 loved when Meredith said that.

[@x-filesfan2257]

Burgess you are missed more than you know!!! You were one of a kind sir.. and will always be beloved Mickey for me 🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️

[@zachhaywood1564]

What a distinctive voice!

[@mikesternmike]

Being an actor who did so much theater it was hard for him to understand just how popular the penguin character was and still is. Still one of the grades who's work in the Twilight zone episodes great stuff and of course Mickey one of the greatest characters of all time.

[@warriorv9359]

Burgess a true badass

[@thomastakesportspodcast]

I love his voice

[@deanvoss7098]

Burgess Meredith stole every scene he was in in Rocky

[@jackvieiraoficial]

It's very interesting to notice a certain pattern in actors, especially the older ones. They don't reject fame because of a more popular role, but you can tell that they truly are bothered by being remembered by the audience solely for these roles. The way he mentions his role as the Penguin in the Batman series and even Rocky, stating that he hasn't even watched the film, illustrates this sentiment

[@Anthony-2]

Wow thank you for putting on these hidden gems on KZbin. I guess everything that was aired back in the day always gets saved which is awesome.

[@eileenprose8472]

Anthony, thanks so much for watching. I am having a great time sharing time with these classic celebrities. Best to you!

[@jeffreyt.steptoe5306]

Eileen, that's a very nice and gracious thing to say.

[@larry930legend]

Superior legend, appeared in mostly every movie I seen throughout the 1970s--1995 including The Hindenburg, Foul Play, Clash of the Titans, Grumpy and Grumpier Old Men between Rocky I II and III. Get up you son of a bit--.

[@dancollins5478]

Wow. Hadn’t seen rocky haha. Legend

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Some "interesting" editing and dissolves here. Mr. Meredith seemed a bit peeved that people remember his mainstream roles more than the other work he did. But it's something he had to accept; most of us will always think of him as the bank clerk whose eyeglasses broke, or the quacking villain in the top hat and monacle. I can't even begin to imagine how much voice work he had done, from TV commercial narration to animated characters in films or TV. He was good at his craft, whether live on the stage or whatever venue was fortunate enough to have him. I recall a lot of his work, including his turn as Mr. Mole in Faerie Tale Theatre-- in which he sang a tune.

[@GreyRockOne]

Love Burgess! No one else like him. I've seen most of his movie and TV work except the Rocky movies. Wish I've seen his broadway or play performances.

[@acecelery1589]

Burgess was a very remarkable man and what great actors are made of!!

[@donnietobasco9791]

Burgess Meredith (What a name...) as Mickey was the living incarnation of my grandfather....also called "Mick" who served in the RAF during the war and played in goal for Everton FC in the post-war years. Looks, mannerisms and also the great working class wisdom and toughness he projected with that character. I first saw him in Clash Of The Titans playing "Amon" (I think)...the amphitheatre playwright who helps Perseus (Harry Hamlyn) grasp his future path and the various gifts he receives from the gods of Olympus. A very fine actor, fondly remembered!!

[@hdrake1000]

Love him he really helped make that movie great!!!

[@lexprimo]

What a tour de force in Rocky, Meredith was. And his Penguin in Batman has been rerun for decades, and will continue to be.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Wonderfully entertaining & intriguing interview ! THANK YOU so much for uploading ! An actor of his stature and a gentleman with his class is always sorely missed. May this gentle soul rest in peace.

[@marcdewey1242]

He played alot of roles in movies and television one of his early films was of mice and men that he co- starred in with Lon Chaney Jr.

[@alexandrebertrand-lafleur3114]

Rest in peace Burgess Meredith aka Penguin, Mickey Goldmill!

[@chrisdohms8462]

I liked him in The Twilight Zone .He played in a few episodes.

[@c.moriarty1178]

Talking about Robert Frost again

[@vibeofthee80s_]

Gawd he was so good in Grumpy Old Men LOL 3/15/23

[@JohnnyD5]

He was in the best episode of Twilight Zone, Rocky, and voiced Puff the Magic Dragon….. legend!!!

[@ScorpioDreamer1984]

I love him doing the voice of Puff the Magic Dragon

[@lonesum1555]

Rip to a legend 🙏

[@jeriahluna3447]

Yo mick he did it you would be proud RIP Burgess meredith

[@Benjaofficial]

Absolute legend, top grade actor through and through

[@peterbooth793]

He played some very compelling characters.

[@binksterb]

One of his best movies, with John Wayne "In Harms Way"

[@alanprior7650]

One of the earliest things you can see Burgess Meredith in is a WW2 film for the US army in how a G.I. should behave in Britain (look it up on KZbin). He was great in the 60's Twilight Zone in an episode where he played a banker who loved books then a nuclear strike happened when he was in the vault. He was perfect as the Penguin and good in Clash of the Titans.

[@williamschietroma2773]

Mr Meredith is an class act and an good Actor he was brilliant Actor

[@rickyarme2317]

The Batman series, clash of the titans and of course Rocky. Yo Burgess you did it!!! Rip❤

[@Sassywizard]

He sounded like he didn’t liked playing the penguin, which sucks because he was a perfect actor to play the penguin.

[@bratton79]

I guess it’s because he’s played much better roles more serious roles. Hopefully he came to understand that he enriched the lives of millions of children all over the world by bringing the Penguin to life. He was worried about his legacy perhaps. I guess he didn’t want to be remembered as a silly cartoonish villain. I remember him as Mickey, the tough bastard from Rocky. His tombstone probably says Get up you SOB. As long as it doesn’t say Waa Waa Waa.

[@rh449]

I think his reaction is similar to Alec Guinness' reaction to Star Wars. He saw it as a small part and "just another job", and grew to resent it when it eclipsed all his other work in the minds of the public. Of course, Guinness turned that dislike into an art-form, whereas Meredith remained only mildly dismissive.

[@tomjones2348]

He was one of kind. Wow.

[@captainedc]

There not carryin' him. He's WALKIN !

[@luxdico]

the casting for Rocky 1 is phenomenal. Burgess Meredith is amazin', but so is Thayer David as the fight promoter and on and on. Gr8 storytellin' with gr8 actors.

[@maricedixion3357]

Burgess meredith was a great actor it will never be another actor like him when I saw his death scene in rocky 3 that was the moment when he was sopose to be passed away and that was the moment when sly Stallone no that he was gone and he lays on side of him and broke down that was saddest moment to watch and then they had to put him in a vault that was the moment in that movie

[@IlliniPicker]

This guy was an absolutely genius. Rest in peace sir.

[@Jackrabbit_Slim]

Amazing actor and a great man.

[@cory87w]

Rip Burgess Meredith aka Mickey Goldmill

[@garybell523]

Great actor.

[@julioberlin-6821]

Great actor of my favorites

[@StultifiedGraphics]

Anyone else sad that he didnt watch Rocky. I wonder if he ever did. Also i loved that Santa Claus Movie as kid

[@philtriolo4156]

It’s odd. I’ve heard several actors say the same thing - “I’ve never seen it”. For example, Johnny Depp said he never saw Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@mattn6591]

He said between Rocky and Santa Claus; i looked it up - he was in a movie called Santa Claus in 1985 so I bet he is referring to Rocky 4 that he hadn't seen (maybe they used flashbacks?)

[@theloner6063]

Legend forever

[@RSTI191]

Yo Sly, give us the movie of Mick in his prime.. Nail in the glove to boot..

[@DavidPerez-nz6tv]

HE REMINDS ME OF MY GRANDFATHER BOFE R.I.P☝🙏🕊

[@drummer7557]

Legend

[@ricardocantoral7672]

His final role was in the M rated CD-ROM game, Ripper.

[@peterroeters6280]

You gonna eat lightning and gonna crap thunder

[@chrisevans4123]

I think you have to credit alot of the success of the early Rocky movies to the brilliant creation and acting of Burgess Meridith as the crusty old boxing trainer "Mickey "....

[@eileenprose8472]

Totally agree!!! Thank you for watching… hope you will watch others on my channel. Blessings…

[@raulgarcia5541]

R.I.P Mick

[@ThisLifeisaParade]

It's kinda weird hearing him call him Sly and not Rock

[@coltmp8557]

"You used me, where's my check?" Sounds like there was some animosity between Sly and Burgess, can anybody elaborate?

[@StuUngar]

Colt Moreau Pitt Idk, but there was actual animosity between Stallone and Burt Young and also Carl Weathers. I think Burgess is simply referring to being used in flashback scenes in Rocky 4 and perhaps not being paid....that changed in Back to the Future 2 when they used stock footage and a look alike for Crispin Glover without his permission. Fwiw, Burgess appeared in Rocky V and did original scenes for a flashback sequence.

[@MagicAyrtonforever]

Colt Moreau Pitt yeah I think Stallone was the greedy one.. Which is why Carl Weathers never came back

[@lukesmale24]

With the way Stallone speaks about Burgess in all the makings, I think they were pretty close....you can see him tear up a bit discussing Burgess.

[@johnbell3621]

"Well let her train ya!"

[@jamminman2867]

"You used me, where's the check??" WOW, that is a little fucked up there Sly.

[@jamesbaron1753]

you were the angel mick (rocky 3)

[@jugadorcuphead]

no, rocky v

[@jamesbaron1753]

i know i clicked 3 by mistake. lol

[@rusudan9631]

my right ear thanks you

[@lancashirebomber9744]

'he'll knock you to tomorrow rock'

[@wildforthecats661]

Hey there P.N. Gwynn.

[@gargantuaism]

Burgess should have won the supporting actor Oscar for ROCKY. He actually lost to one of the great actors of all time named Jason Robards for "All the President's Men" but I still think Burgess should have won, also Robards won the NEXT year too!!, so they really should have given that to Burgess.

[@PudHorning-wm1ec]

Grumpy old men was the best
