Michael Greene (Matches) RIP

Post by Tom1980 »

Hi

I was just checking on IMDB to confirm if I'd spotted Michael Greene (Riddler's henchman Matches in "Ring of Wax") in another TV show, and sad to see he passed away just earlier this year on January 10th 2020. Lived to age of 86, and has credits right up to 2019.

I don't think I had seen this reported already.

"Ring of Wax" was one of the first Batman stories I ever had on video, and I saw it dozens of times. I thought Riddler had a real cool gang in that one.

Thanks for sharing. That's one of my favorites arcs in the series. Not too many are left that were a part of Batman '66, sadly.

We actually happened to watch this arc during a recent Video Bat-Chat and I think Clavierankh mentioned that he had passed, I had no idea.
