Keith David

American actor known for his deep voice.

Frequently typecast as a Scary Black Man. Fortunately, he found his renaissance as a Voice Actor, from which he ganered a veritable army of devoted fans. He'll always be Goliath to us.

He is not David Keith. What he is, is an awesome singer.

Also, don't mess with his fries.
