Keith David or David Keith?

When I see either name in the opening credits of a movie I'm always confused.

Keith David



David Keith


I loved Keith David in "The Thing" and "Something about Mary" in his supporting role.


David Keith was just great in "An officer and a gentleman" but after that I only remember seeing him in U-571 and Daredevil.


So anyway, who's your favorite David or errr Keith?

Keith David does a lot of voice-over, I think, like for the X-Box.

David Keith, to me anyway, looks like that Arliss guy. That's enough reason to hate him.

I really like both of them, but as JoebobX pointed out, Keith David has just got that voice.

Imo it's Keith David all the way, can't think of anything he did I did not like. David Keith on the other hand, I can't think of a movie he is in, he is just one of those faces I know I have seen in tons of movies.

Keith David, mainly for a) 12 minute fight scene with Rowdy Roddy Piper in "They Live"; and b) providing great narration in Ken Burn's "Baseball" and "Jazz" documentaries. (BTW - the quote in the earlier post is from "Requiem for a Dream".)

But some respect for David Keith, too for good performances in "The Great Santini" and "The Lords of Discipline."

Spontaneous new poll...

Keith Jackson or Jackson Pollack?

I like both actors a lot. I've seen them both in cool roles.

However, having worked in radio for so long I have to say that Keith David is a Voiceover God IMHO. His voice is rich, deep, and it stands out like a golden Microphone.


I mean shit! He was the voice of Goliath and Spawn.

I vote for Bill Pullman. If it wasn't for his masterful performance, Thunderbirds would have been a complete bust.

I think Matt hints at the "Pullman/Paxton" syndrome
