Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Arnold Stromwell

Arnold Stromwell was a successful mobster who controlled the Gotham criminal underworld with an iron first for many years.  He got his start in illegal narcotics and quickly moved onto extortion, theft, prostitution and racketeering.  He owned numerous legitimate front companies that enabled him to launder his ill gotten gains and live a lavish lifestyle.  Stromwell’s near obsession with being rich and powerful stemmed from his growing up poor and a tragic incident where he was almost hit by a train and his brother lost his leg in saving him.  

As he grew older, Stromwell had to fight off many younger and more vicious mobsters who were constantly jockeying to encroach on his territory and operations.  None more so than Rupert Thorne, whose organization posed the greatest threat to the aged mobster’s hold on power.  

It was during his war with Thorne that Stromwell’s son went missing and he was convinced that Thorne’s men had abducted him.  Batman offered to assist Stromwell on the condition that he turn states evidence against Thorne.  Not wanting to be a rat, Stromwell refused Batman’s offer and tried to negotiate for his son’s release on his own.  

Thorne tried to kill Stromwell and Batman had to save him.  It was then that Batman revealed to Stromwell that his son was actually being cared for at a free clinic where he was being treated for severe drug addiction.  Furthermore, it was Stromwell’s own drug operation that had led to his son getting hooked.  

After reconciling with his brother, Stromwell agreed to work with District Attorney Harvey Dent in building a case against Rupert Thorne.  Thorne was ultimately able to beat the rap (temporarily) and Stromwell was sentenced to prison, but his son survived and the hardened gangster finally achieved a peace of mind.  

Actor Eugene Roche voiced Arnold Stromwell, with the character appearing in the sixth episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series, ‘It’s Never Too Late.’

Top 10 Actors Who Guest-Starred on Murder, She Wrote

Just the top 10 actors who appeared during the shows run. What? The show is a guilty pleasure of mine. I’m not including William Windom, Ron Masak and Tom Bosley who were on the main cast.

#10. Clifton James as Ray Dressler S5/E7: The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel (1988)

All I can say is, the southerner crewman from the Dixie Damsel could have caught a different kind of stabbing... with my penis.

#9. Barney Martin as Lt. Timothy Hanratty (2 episodes 1987-189)  

What? The glasses makes him adorable.

#8. Eugene Roche (4 episodes 1986-1991)  

#7. Robert Prosky as Bishop Patrick Shea, S4/E4: Old Habits Die Hard (1987)

The only reason he's not higher on this list is because he doesn't have a beard. Wait... don't I dislike beards?

#6. Martin Milner (5 episodes 1985-1996)

#5. Ken Howard (6 episodes 1985-1994)

I don't have a favorite Howard guest appearance, but I do have a least favorite. It's the ones where he's not wearing his hair piece. What? He looks hotter with it on.

#4. Paul Sorvino as Al Sidell S5/E20: Three Strikes, You're Out (1989)

What? It's Paul fucking Sorvino, who I will affectionally call 'Mr. Ass.' Why? Have you seen his ass.

#3. Dakin Matthews (3 episodes 1992–1995)

Jess and Seth are road-tripping and making a stop in South Carolina (my home state) to see Seth’s cousin and murder victim, Buford Hazlitt (Matthews). Thoughts of doing the two Hazlitts were popping up... among other things.

#2. Richard Riehle (2 episodes 1989–1992)

Sergeant Devon O’Malley is my favorite of Riehle's two guest appearances. Mainly for his Irish accent and being one of the two things in his catalog where he's moustacheless.

#1. Len Cariou as Michael Hagarty (7 episodes 1985–1992) 

A British former MI5 agent, who often appeared when Jessica least expected him to drag her into a dangerous case. Plus, he's the only one on this list who probably clapped Jessica's cheeks.

Gimme a Break 2x7 “The Chief’s Gay Evening”

Dolph Sweet as the bigoted police chief and Eugene Roche as the gay detective who who changes his mind a bit. Both so hot.
