Toronto voice actor 'had big cowl to fill'

Toronto-born voice actor Rino Romano has played the Dark Knight in the Cartoon Network's Emmy award-winning animated series The Batman since 2004. He is the only Canadian to play the Caped Crusader, and it will probably be the only time he gets listed alongside Christian Bale, George Clooney, Val Kilmer and Michael Keaton. (read more)

Hi Doreen! Yes, that is me on that one McDonalds spot that plays incessantly. And yes, that's me on those South Park promos [on K-Cal 9 in L.A.] and on CBS, etc. You have a great ear! For the last long while, I've been doing a lot more of the commercial and promotional stuff, and a lot less of the animation mostly, if not exclusively, due to the time commitment needed for cartoons (i.e., 4 hour sessions). However, this year, I've been fortunate enough to fall into a few great things. Firstly I've replaced William H. Macy as the Narrator on Curious George (the animated series). I'm in Seasons 2 and 3, so far. Also, (this one's a bit of a secret still and not really for public consumption yet), I'm working with a bunch of really cool vo people and celebrities on a new animated series, that's been a great boatload of fun!
