While today’s TV audiences might be less familiar with Zimbalist’s work, he became a household name by the mid-20th century with his role in 77 Sunset Strip, which ran for six years between 1958 and 1964. It was a trial run for his detective skills, as Zimbalist played private eye Stuart Bailey for the duration of the show.
On F.B.I. he upgraded to the role of Inspector Lewis Erskine for the duration of the show’s nine seasons. He ventured into movies with leading roles in The Chapman Report and Harlow before returning to television. He might be more familiar to modern audiences for voicing Alfred Pennyworth, the butler of Batman, in Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures in the 90s. Zimbalist’s final role was in 2008’s The Delivery.
