Lyle Waggoner (b. April 13, 1935 – d.March 17, 2020) was an American actor who portrayed Steve Trevor on the series Wonder Woman which ran for one season on ABC and two seasons on CBS. When the show switched networks and shifted the setting from World War II to the present, Waggoner stayed on though his role was changed to Steve Trevor, Jr., the son of his original character.
In 1965, Waggoner was one of the actors considered for the title role of Batman. While he did participate in final screen tests for the role, Adam West was ultimately chosen for the role. The casting of the character was presented as part of the retrospective on the series Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt, which Waggoner narrated.
