Van Johnson was rather sinister as The Pied Piper of Hamlin.

Van Johnson also portrayed the villainous The Minstrel on the Batman TV series.

Sorry if I'm upsetting your perception of VJ, KayFrancis.

Ep every film actor that was famous and still alive was a giest villain on the tv series Batman.
I'm not upset but Van 99% of the time was a good guy in films.
