Josh Keaton Biography

Joshua Luis Wiener, (born February 8, 1979), known by his stage name Josh Keaton, is an American actor, voice actor, singer, and record producer.

Early life

Keaton was born in Hacienda Heights, California, to a father from Brooklyn, New York and a mother from Lima, Peru. He has three sisters: Danielle, Alitzah (Ali Navarro), and Sabrina. He is fluent in Spanish; he started his career as a child in Spanish and then later in English. As a child, he learned to speak some Quechuan from his maternal grandparents.

Career

His career has included television, video game and film work, with a mixture of live acting and voice work for animations. As an infant, he appeared in an OshKosh B'Gosh commercial. He was in the 1990s boy band No Authority and was signed to MJJ Music and later RCA Records as a solo artist.

Keaton voiced Jules Brown in Back to the Future: The Animated Series during 1991/1992 and Major Ocelot during Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. From 2008 to 2009, he voiced Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series on the CW. He was originally supposed to voice Spider-Man in the 2002 Spider-Man video game but his voice work was salvaged when Tobey Maguire came on to voice the character. He also voiced Harry Osborn in the 2007 video game Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, and Spider-Man again in the 2010 video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and the 2011 video game Spider-Man: Edge of Time.
