[edit] Background Information
[edit] Film Work
With an imposing height of 6 ft 3½ in tall (1.92 m) and his characteristic deep voice, Brown is often typecast in villain roles, and has gained a cult following for playing such villains as: the immortal Kurgan in the first Highlander film; Captain Byron Hadley in The Shawshank Redemption, and Rawhide in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension. Other memorable film roles include Viking Lofgren in the 1983 hit drama movie Bad Boys, and Career Sergeant Zim in Starship Troopers.
[edit] Television Work
Brown has also had many guest appearances on various television shows including Star Trek: Enterprise and ER. He also had a recent appearance on Lost as Kelvin Inman, an American officer during Desert Storm, and former baseball player (and investment scam mark) Rudy Blue on The Riches.
Starring roles include John Danzinger on Earth 2 and the sinister preacher Brother Justin Crowe for HBO's Carnivàle.
[edit] Other Voice Work
Outside of the DCAU, Brown is probably most recognizable as the voice of restaurant owner Eugene Krabs on Nickelodeon's SpongeBob Squarepants. Other animated roles include Raiden in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm; various dragons in Spyro the Dragon; the aggressive alien villain Gorrath in Megas XLR; and the viking chieftan Hakon (and his stuntman descendant, Wolf) on Disney's Gargoyles.
He has also lent his distinctive voice to a number of video game characters, including the corrupt Baron Praxis in the video game Jak II, the psychopathic Doctor Neo Cortex and destructive Uka Uka in a number of the Crash Bandicoot video games (until Crash Twinsanity, in which he was replaced by Lex Lang and Alex Fernandez/John DiMaggio), Montross, rival of Jango Fett, in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, and conniving alderman Richard Hughes in Saints Row. Brown was also the voice of Thrall in the canceled video game, Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans.
Brown also supplied the voice of Mr. Freeze in the non-DCAU series, The Batman, as well as reprising the role of Lex Luthor in the last season opener. He also reprised his role as Lex Luthor in the movie adaption of the comic book Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
