Robert Fiske (actor)
Robert Fiske was an American actor on film and stage during the first half of the 20th century.
In the late 1920s, Fiske acted with the Sharp Players at the Pitt Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By the early 1930s, he had his own troupe in Pennsylvania.
Robert Fiske appeared in 66 films, primarily low-budget features, and usually wore a dapper, pencil-thin mustache. He joined the Columbia Pictures stock company in 1938. Robert Fiske was frequently cast in Columbia's features, westerns, and serials, although he did accept assignments from other studios. Today's audiences may know him as one of the villain's henchmen in the 1943 serial Batman.
Fiske died in Sunland, California of congestive heart failure at the age of 54, and was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale).
