Victor Buono
Victor Charles Buono (February 3, 1938January 1, 1982) was an American actor and comic and briefly a recording artist, he was most famous for playing the villain King Tut on the television series ''Batman'' and musician Edwin Flagg in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?. He was a busy actor from his late teens until his death at age 43, and with his large size and sonorous voice, he made a career of playing men much older than himself.
==Early life and career==
Buono was born in San Diego, California, the son of Myrtle Belle (née Keller; 1909–1979) and Victor Francis Buono (1907–1981). His maternal grandmother, Myrtle Glied (1886–1969), was a Vaudeville performer on the Orpheum Circuit. When he was a boy, she taught him songs and recitations and encouraged him to perform for visitors. Even though the young Buono enjoyed the polite applause of those captive audiences, he aspired to be a doctor. When he was sixteen, Father John Aherne, OSA, of St. Augustine High School in San Diego cast him as Papa Barrett in the play ''The Barretts of Wimpole Street''. Buono appeared in three plays a year during high school, including ''Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp'' and Shakespearean dramas such as the play ''Hamlet''. Buono played the role of King Claudius.
He started appearing on local radio and television stations, and at the age of eighteen joined the Globe Theater Players in San Diego. The director had confidence in Buono and cast him in ''Volpone,'' ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' and other Globe presentations. He received good notices for his various Shakespearean roles and in modern plays such as ''The Man Who Came to Dinner'' and ''Witness for the Prosecution.''
In the summer of 1959, a talent scout from Warner Bros. saw the heavy-set Buono play ''Falstaff'' at the Globe and took him to Hollywood for a screen test. Buono made his first network TV appearance playing the bearded poet Bongo Benny in an episode of ''77 Sunset Strip.'' Over the next few years, he played menacing heavies in nearly every Grade "A" private eye series on TV and also appearing on ''The Untouchables.'' After appearing in a few uncredited film roles, he was cast by director Robert Aldrich in the psychological horror movie ''What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?'' (1962). The film starred Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and Buono played the part of the ne'er-do-well musical accompanist, Edwin Flagg, a performance that earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
