Michael Keaton stars in "Toy Story 3" as the voice of the Ken doll.

Michael Keaton first gained national attention in the hit comedy "Night Shift," followed by starring roles in such films as "Mr Mom," "Johnny Dangerously" and "Gung Ho."

In 1988, Keaton made a blistering double impression on movie audiences when he appeared in a career-making performance as the ghost-with-the-most title character of Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice," followed closely by an acclaimed dramatic role in "Clean and Sober," for which he earned the Best Actor award from the National Society of Film Critics. The following year, he eased into his new role as a leading man for the multiplex as he starred in Tim Burton's "Batman," reprising his role for Burton in 1992's "Batman Returns."

Keaton's film credits in the 1990s included "Pacific Heights," "My Life," "The Paper," "Speechless" and "Jack Frost." In "Multiplicity" in 1996, he wowed audiences by playing a scientist and his many domesticated (and undomesticated) clones simultaneously on screen. He also played the Elmore Leonard-penned FBI Agent Ray Nicolette in both Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" (1997) and Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight" the following year.

In the 2000s, Keaton starred as Robert Weiner in HBO's critically acclaimed "Live from Baghdad," based on a true story of the CNN crew who reported from Baghdad during the Gulf War. Keaton received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance. He also starred in "Game Six," a story centred on the historic sixth game of the 1986 World Series, Mets vs. Boston Red Sox. His other credits included "First Daughter," "Post Grad," "The Last Time" and the CIA-themed miniseries "The Company." In 2007, Michael Keaton made his directorial debut and also starred in the drama "The Merry Gentleman." The film was accepted by the Sundance Film Festival for 2008.

Keaton has previously contributed two voices to Disney-related product, including egocentric race car Chick Hicks in the Disney/Pixar feature "Cars" and the heroic, fighter-pilot title character of the English-dubbed version of Studio Ghibli's "Porco Rosso." Presently, Keaton has completed a co-starring role in the comedy feature "The Other Guys" with Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson for Columbia Pictures, for release in 2010.
