It is with great regret and sadness that I must inform you of Frank Gorshin's passing today. I felt it was important to release this information to you, those who loved him best, before you heard it on the news.
Please know that, during Frank's sporadic moments of lucidity while he was struggling these past few weeks with pneumonia, he wanted you all to know how much he appreciated the prayers and well wishes of you, his loyal fans.
There will never be another like him. We will miss him dearly.
Frank Gorshin 4/5/34-5/17/05 Frank will always be my friend ...John Stacks

Don't know if this will pass muster as a valid source but it seems good to me.

I remember seeing him do his stand up, I think it was on Sullivan or another variety show. The facial expressions were great.

That's one heck of a good impersonation of a Red X. Gorshin was truly gifted!

Gorshin made is mark doing impressions. That was long before he became "the Riddler". He was certainly the best I ever saw. He probably goes back to the Ed Sullivan show although I couldn't really say for sure. Someone out there will know.

What was his character in the final Season of Star Trek:TOS? And was he white on the right or left side of his face?
