Kevin Conroy is the definitive Batman. He has provided many other voices for the series, but Batman is his character. He's been with the show since the beginning, and has appeared in every one of the original series' 109 episodes. Kevin has also provided the voice of Bruce Wayne's father, Dr. Thomas Wayne, on several occasions, including in the episodes Perchance To Dream and Beware the Gray Ghost, as well as many background characters for various episodes.
Kevin was born on November 30, 1955, in Westbury, Long Island, and moved to Westport, Connecticut, when he was about eleven. In 1973, at the age of seventeen, he moved to New York when he earned a full scholarship to attend Julliard's famous drama divison, where he studied under actor John Houseman. In 1978, after graduating from Julliard, he toured with "The Acting Company," Houseman's acting group, and, in 1979, he went on the national tour of "Deathtrap." In 1980, he decided to try his hand in television, and moved out to California. He landed a role in the daytime soap opera Another World. However, he soon missed the theatre, and so he became associated with the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California, where he performed in "Hamlet" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." From 1980 to 1985, he acted in a variety of contemporary and classic theatre pieces, including the Broadway production of "Eastern Standard" and "Lolita." He is very respected in theatre circles for his interpretation of Shakespearean characters, and, in 1984, he played the title role in "Hamlet" in the New York Shakespeare Festival. Kevin returned to television in the 1985 TV movie Covenant and had a role on another daytime soap drama, Search For Tomorrow. He was a series regular on O'Hara in 1987, and on Tour of Duty from 1987 to 1988, before starring in a series of television movies. Obviously, he is best known for Batman: The Animated Series, which began airing in 1992 and, through The Adventures of Batman & Robin, The New Batman/Superman Adventures, and Batman Beyond, ran for a combined total of nine years. Kevin continued the role on Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, which ran for a combined five seasons on Cartoon Network. |
