</center>Biography-
Born in New York’s Harlem district, David caught the acting bug early on in a production of The Wizard of Oz as The Cowardly Lion. Graduating from Julliard, David went onto a successful career in movies, television, and Broadway, earning many Tony and Emmy nominations along the way.
While Keith David has made a name for himself in live-action films, he is best recognized for his deep voice. It is this voice that has brought him to fame, making a splash in Disney’s Gargoyles as Goliath, the leader of the clan. After the success of Gargoyles, David did voice-over narrations for various commercials, including United States Navy announcements. Recently, David has come back to the Mouse House, once again in a lead role, now the villain in Disney’s musical, The Princess and the Frog.
