Batman's Adam West Does Nestle Quik Commercial

This predates the Batman television series and is the reason Mr. West was offered the role. The dry humor portrayed as Agent Q helped the producers to realize that he may be the perfect actor.

@SangreAzteca He was offered the role but declined, because he felt Bond should be played by a British actor.

I loved using a spoon to pop off the top of the Quik can and wonder where it would land!

I heard he did a Kool-Aid ad playing James Bond, is that correct?

Yep, this was first seen in 1965, at the height of the "spy craze". Paul Frees is the voice of the unseen "Dr. Slump" (not surprisingly, he was also the Peter Lorre-esque voice of "Morocco Mole" in Hanna-Barbera's "funny animal" cartoon spy spoof that fall, "Secret Squirrel").

He would've made a great James Bond.
