Alan Napier was born of prestigious stock. He was the cousin of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and a direct descendant of Charles Dickens. Though his acting career spanned six decades, his most visible part to American audiences was that of Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler in the 1960s television series. Napier was reluctant to take the part at first until a friend told him he would become the most famous butler in the world. In honor of Napier, Tim Burton named the Joker's alter ego Jack Napier, in the feature film Batman (1989).
Alfred was the Butler and Guardian of Bruce Wayne when his parents died- and Bruce Wayne is also known as The Batman.
Pennyworth
Morgan Freeman plays Fox in all three of Nolan's Batman movies.
Batman's "gentleman's gentleman" is Alfred, or more fully - Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth. I say "gentleman's gentleman" because he was always more than just a butler... he was a valet, confidant and advisor.
