Oliver Burgess Meredith (November 16, 1907 – September 9, 1997) was the actor behind Penguin in 20 episodes of the Classic TV Series, more appearances than any other guest villain. Penguin was also a member of United Underworld an organization consisting of himself, Joker, Riddler and Catwoman in the movie.
A non-smoker for several years at the time played the Penguin, the character's trademark smoking often caused Meredith to cough, so he developed the Penguin's distinctive "quack" sound to keep from ruining takes.

Meredith later gained fame as "Mickey", the gravely voiced trainer in the Rocky movies.
