KEITH
DAVID

Keith David was born on 4 June 1956 in New York City. His career has moved between film, stage, television, animation and games, with a voice that has become as recognisable as his screen presence.

Among his film roles are Childs in John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) and Frank in They Live (1988). The two films place him in very different kinds of danger: an isolated Antarctic station and a world whose familiar surface hides a threat.

On stage, David was nominated for a Tony Award for Jelly’s Last Jam. He has also narrated documentary work, receiving Emmy recognition for projects including The War and Jackie Robinson.

In animation, he voices the Cat in Coraline (2009) and Dr. Facilier in The Princess and the Frog (2009). The Cat’s calm, knowing delivery gives Coraline a guide whose answers remain intriguing even when they are incomplete.
