Watching Batman Villains on Other Shows

This weekend I was watching an old episode of Hawaii Five-0 (don't judge me!) 30,000 Room And I Have The Key which guest starred a favorite old actor of mine David Wayne. While I best remember Mr. Wayne from his role as Inspector Queen in the Jim Hudson Ellery Queen series, I suspect most readers here will only know him from his appearances on the Batman 60's television show as The Mad Hatter:

I specifically picked that episode of H50 to watch because I wanted to see David Wayne on the show. It's not uncommon for me to hunt down favorite actors on other shows. It occurred to me other people might be like me, so today, I'm going to put together a list of television appearances of the various Big 4 villains from the Batman series.

I'll start with the actor with the most prodigious credits of the big 4. I will also note when a specific show is available online (via a legitimate streaming service.) Note, because streaming services change up the content on a regular basis, what I mention below may not be available if you are reading this post at a later date.
