"Oh my God, that VOICE!
You’ve GOT to do something with that VOICE!"
This sentence could have been taken two different ways... Thom chose to take it positively, rather than negatively, which was how it was meant. Those words were said to him following an audition for a casting director back in the late 80’s.
Well, Thom took her advice and started doing something with "that Voice". He has been working pretty much non-stop ever since...
Thom appeared as a series regular on Falcon Crest. He has guest-starred on numerous shows including, Family Matters, The Tracey Ullman Show, Renegade, Homefront and more. His T.V. movie credits include: My Life As A Babysitter, I Saw What You Did, Liberace, The Absent Minded Professor II, Under Fire, and It Came From Outer Space, to name a few.
Thom’s feature film credits include starring with Martin Sheen, Heather Graham and Moira Kelly in Entertaining Angels; For the Boys, with Bette Midler; Under Seige II, Popcorn, Ghoulies III, Interceptor, Final Voyage and Lethal Pursuit.
One day while Thom spoke with his on-camera commercial agent, the voice-over agent walked by. Upon hearing Thom’s voice, he asked Thom to sign with them for voice-over. That voice-over agent happened to be Jamie Thomason. And after a year of auditions, and not booking anything, Thom finally landed a part in The Goof Troop the animated Disney movie, cast by Jamie, who had since moved to casting for Disney. Unfortunately, three months later they replaced Thom’s voice with that of Paulie Shore... but the disappointment didn’t last long because shortly after Jamie brought Thom to Greg Weisman & producers for the role of "Lexington" in the series GARGOYLES. Closely following, Thom booked the role of "Felix" in the CBS remake of Felix The Cat.
Since then, Thom has continued to work in voice-over, making hundreds of commercials for radio and T.V., as well as on animated series including Invasion America for Stephen Spielberg, Jakers, 101 Dalmatians, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, All Growed Up, and Jackie Chan (for which there’s talk of a spin-off including Thom’s character and two others), and additionally some Japanese anime. As of April 2005, Thom is on the new Disney series Maggie in the part of Pupert, Maggie’s little brother.
Thom continues to plug away at his on-camera career while staying extremely busy catering to his three dogs (Sparky, Gunner and Lili Taylor - the magical rat-faced dog), making sure they are spoiled rotten, living in their home in the hills of Los Angeles.

Keith David |
 |
A Korean War veteran running a pool hall
in Harlem... A guide to the underworld with an elegant walk and a
haunting laugh... A Moslem cleric stranded on an alien planet... No
matter what role he’s playing, the combination of Keith David’s full -
bodied, baritone regal presence and solid theatrical training is sure
to result in an impressive performance.
Very few actors working today possess Keith’s extraordinary range of talent as evidenced by his body of work. Recent films include DELTA FARCE, ATL, and CRASH. Other credits include BARBERSHOP, AGENT CODY BANKS, and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Prior to that, Keith was featured in THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, ARMAGEDDON and DEAD PRESIDENTS.
On television Keith serves as the narrator for the upcoming 14 hour Ken Burns documentary THE WAR which premieres this September on PBS. Earlier Keith had an arc of episodes on ER. He won an Emmy Award for his narration of the documentary UNFORGIVABLE BLACKNESS, and was nominated for his narration of JAZZ. He received a daytime Emmy nomination for his work in Showtime’s THE TIGER WOODS STORY.
Keith also narrated HORATIO’S DRIVE and MARK TWAIN. Keith was the lead character on the animated series version of the comic book SPAWN for HBO, as well as the lead in the Disney animated series GARGOYLES, for which he also received an Emmy nomination. He is currently the voice of the U.S. NAVY and has narrated the hit A&E series CITY CONFIDENTIAL.
Such a demanding schedule is nothing new to Keith. Immediately after his graduation from the Julliard School he was hired as an understudy for the role of Tullus Aufidius in Shakespeare’s CORIOLANUS at Joseph Papp’s New York Public Theater. Ironically, ten years later he co-starred in the same role opposite Christopher Walken and was the recipient of the Actor’s Equity St. Claire Bayfield Award. In 1992, Keith was recognized with a Tony nomination for best supporting actor in a musical for co-starring with Gregory Hines in the Broadway production of JELLY’S LAST JAM. Several years later he starred on Broadway in August Wilson’s SEVEN GUITARS. He fulfilled a lifelong ambition by portraying OTHELLO at the New York Shakespeare Festival.
Keith was honored this year with a Bistro Award, given by the entertainment newspaper "Backstage" for his jazz/cabaret performance at New York’s Metropolitan Room.
Keith David gained wide attention in 1986 for his role as King in the Oscar-winning film PLATOON. Other of his over 75 film credits include MEN AT WORK, CLOCKERS, and PITCH BLACK. Keith has also worked with notable directors including Clint Eastwood (BIRD), Steven Spielberg (ALWAYS) and John Carpenter (THE THING and THEY LIVE).
Born in Harlem, New York and raised in East Elmhurst, Queens, Keith sang in the all borough choir as a boy. He knew he wanted to act at the age of nine when he appeared as the cowardly lion in his school’s production of THE WIZARD OF OZ. He later attended New York’s famed High School of the Performing Arts and then graduated from Julliard. There he studied under such voice and speech teachers as Robert Williams and Edith Skinner.
In addition to the wide variety of modern characters he has played, Keith says he still loves the classics. "Heightened, elevated text always really interests me…the kind of stuff you don’t get to say everyday," he explains. He says that when he first started acting, he would bring his own personality to the characters he portrayed. Now, however, that approach has changed. "I want to be a character actor. I want to discover the character and play him."
