Michael Keaton is a prolific American actor, producer, and director. He played some unimportant roles in some films and TV shows before he rose to fame playing humorous roles in sitcoms, such as ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Hour’ and ‘All’s Fair.' His comic timing resonated with filmmakers and he became part of some notable comedy films, such as ‘Night Shift,’ ‘Mr. Mom,' ‘Johnny Dangerously,’ and ‘Beetlejuice.’ However, none of his roles would bring him the fame that ‘Batman’ did. Taking on the role of caped crusader in the Tim Burton film turned out to be a major career breakthrough for Keaton and he also appeared in the sequel ‘Batman Forever’.
Shredding the comic actor image, Michael Keaton, has since then appeared in a wide variety of roles in some notable films, such as ‘Much Ado about Nothing,’ ‘The Dream Team,’ ‘Pacific Heights,’ ‘Jackie Brown,’ ‘The Other Guys,’ ‘Robocop,' ‘Spotlight,’ and ‘The Founder.’ He has also lent his voice to some animated films, such as ‘Cars,’ ‘Toy Story 3,’ and ‘Minions.'
