Sure sounds like it. Here is a photo of Alan Napier.



I remember in the mid-1980s there were two talk shows that had Batman (TV show) "reunions" and Napier was on one of them. This was probably within a year or so of his death, and I remember that even though he was in a wheelchair by then, he was still quite lucid and talkative. In fact, they had a hard time keeping him quiet! I just wish I could remember the name of the show or who hosted it. Probably the IMDb could supply the answer, but the ol' ComputerSaurus doesn't want to deal with those complicated pages.

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
