Green Hornet Wiki

William Dozier (February 13, 1908 – April 23, 1991) was an American film and television producer. He spearheaded the development of the 1966 Batman television series and, following its success, the Green Hornet television series. He served as the executive producer and narrator of both series. Dozier personally selected Bruce Lee for the role of Kato, thereby helping to launch Lee's acting career and popularize the martial arts genre in the United States.

Dozier died in Santa Monica, California, at age eighty-three, from a stroke. His papers are stored at the American Heritage Center.
