LONDON: Michael Gough, the British actor best known for playing Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred in a series of Batman movies, has died at age 94, his ex-wife said. Gough appeared in more than 150 movies and television shows, including British science-fiction show “Doctor Who,” and recently voiced characters in Tim Burton's “Alice in Wonderland” and “Corpse Bride.” But he remains best remembered for his role as Alfred Pennyworth in the Batman franchise, opposite three different Batmans: Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney. The veteran actor died at home in England Thursday, surrounded by family, his ex-wife Anneke Wills said through her agent.
