Brave & the Bold: Diedrich Bader, Voice of Batman

[wayshway]

As the voice of Batman in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Diedrich Bader is living out the fantasy of any number of kids (including his own young son, as we'll see). Bader's love of performing flowered at the North Carolina School of the Arts, and he was soon cast as a supporting character in a variety of shows, including Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Quantum Leap. The role that made him recognizable to the most people was as Oswald Lee Harvey in The Drew Carey Show, although he's had memorable turns as the construction worker Lawrence in Office Space and as Rex in Napoleon Dynamite, to name just two.

Bader does have a sizable number of voice acting credits to his name as well, taking on a number of supporting roles in dozens of cartoons over the years. Before Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Bader was the voice of Tank, the antagonist in Surf's Up, and also of Zee, the lead character in Batman Beyond spin-off The Zeta Project.
