Keith David is a classically trained actor, winning 3 Emmys out of 6 nominations as well as being

This summer in Season 5 of Greenleaf, Keith continues to portray ‘Bishop James Greenleaf’, the
charismatic and God-fearing leader of the Calvary Fellowship and the patriarch of the family. The series
follows the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family, their scandalous secrets and lies, and their
sprawling Memphis megachurch. The series has been praised for its push and pull dynamic, its
hypocrisy, and its compelling characters. Keith's stellar performance is best stated by The Hollywood
Reporter, “... Keith David ...is perfectly cast as Bishop Greenleaf. Whether he's playing to the
congregation at the altar or getting conspiratorial in a smaller venue, this is an unusually great and meaty role for David.”

Also on the big screen, Keith has appeared in the hit comedy feature film “Night School” with Kevin Hart
and Tiffany Haddish. He also starred in “Tales from the Hood 2”, the sequel to the ground-breaking
original horror film by Spike Lee. His film credits include the Academy award-winning films “Crash” and
“Platoon.” He is widely recognized for appearing in the highly-acclaimed films Disney’s “The Princess and
the Frog”, “Requiem for a Dream”, “Men at Work”, “They Live”, “There’s Something About Mary”, and
“The Thing.”

Other recent TV credits include “NCIS: New Orleans”, “Blackish,” MacGyver”, and “Fresh Off the Boat”.
Earlier credits include “Community”, “ER”, “Enlisted”, and “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood”. On Broadway,
Keith starred in August Wilson’s “Seven Guitars” and “Jelly’s Last Jam” for which he garnered a Tony
Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical.

Keith’s work as a voice actor has made him a household name. His rich and powerful voice has been
featured in national commercials, award shows, documentaries, video games, and animation. His work
in narration has earned him three Emmys for Ken Burns' “Jackie Robinson”, “The War”, and “Unforgivable Blackness – The Jack Johnson Story”. Some of his other voice acting credits include countless fan favorites such as “Adventure Time”, “Bojack Horseman,” “Rick & Morty”, “Spawn”, and “Gargoyles”.

In a major coup for "Mortal Kombat," Keith re-creates the character of "Spawn" in the recent update of the
classic video game. Other appearances include the “Halo” series (games 2, 3, and 5), the “Saint’s Row”
series (games 1, 2, and 4), as well as the “Mass Effect” series (games 1,2, and 3).

Born and raised in New York by his parents Lester and Dolores, Keith became interested in the arts at
a very young age. After appearing in his school’s production of “The Wizard of Oz”, he knew this was
what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He enrolled in New York's High School of the Performing Arts
and continued his studies at The Juilliard School. After graduation, he was immediately hired by Joseph
Papp as an understudy for the role of Tullus Aufidius in William Shakespeare's "Coriolanus." His work
with Mr. Papp and the New York Shakespeare Festival launched his incredible career.

In addition to his versatile acting and voiceover work, Keith is also a remarkable singer. He has been
touring in 2 shows, “Too Marvelous for Words”, a tribute to the legendary singer Nat King Cole, and a
tribute to Joe Williams, “Here’s to Life.”
