Bob Hastings got his show business start in radio after WW2 as the voice of Archie Andrews in the show of the same name (a spin-off of the Archie Comics series) on the Mutual Broadcasting System. The good-looking Hastings made the transition to television smoothly in 1949 in early galactic-action series like "Captain Video" and "Atom Squad". His first recurring role was as a lieutenant on Phil Silvers` "Sgt. Bilko" show.

Most of his career has been spent in television, and he`s notable for roles such as Captain Binghamton`s yes-man Lieutenant Elroy Carpenter on "McHale`s Navy", one of the two Tommy Kelsey`s on "All in the Family", and Captain Ramsey on "General Hospital". Hastings has also done much voice work, including that of The Raven on the "Munsters" series, Superboy on the "Superman/Aquaman" cartoons in the 1960s, and in recent years, the voice of Commisioner Gordon on the animated "Batman" cartoons.
