Kevin Conroy, the prolific voice actor whose gravely delivery on “Batman: The Animated Series' was — for many Batman fans — the definite sound of the Caped Crusader, has died at 66.
Conroy died Thursday after a battle with cancer, series producer Warner Bros. announced Friday.
Born in in Westbury, New York, and raised in Westport, Connecticut, Conroy started out as well-trained theater actor. He attended Juilliard and roomed with Robin Williams. After graduating, he toured with John Houseman's acting group, the Acting Company. He performed in “A Midsummer Night's Dream” at the Public Theater and in “Eastern Standard" on Broadway. At the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California, he performed in “Hamlet.
Conroy began the role without any background in comics and as a novice in voice acting. His Batman was husky, brooding and dark. His Bruce Wayne was light and dashing. His inspiration for the contrasting voices, he said, came from the 1930s film, “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” about an English aristocrat who leads a double life.“Calling it animation doesn’t do it justice. It’s more like mythology.”
