Kevin Michael Richardson (October 25, 1964) is an American voice actor and actor, one of the most prominent voice actors in the field. He starred in the short lived "The Knights of Prosperity", an ABC comedy.

He is best known for his deep voice and portraying villains. His credits include Captain Gantu from "Lilo & Stitch", Goro in "Mortal Kombat", Sarevok in the "Baldur's Gate" series, in "", Crunch Bandicoot in two of the "Crash Bandicoot" games, The Joker from "The Batman", Tartarus from "Halo 2", Openly Gator from "Queer Duck", and Barney Rubble from modern-day animated series and movies based upon "The Flintstones".

A classically-trained actor, Richardson first gained recognition as one of only eight U.S. high school students selected for the National Foundation for the Arts' "Arts '82" program. As a result of this he earned a scholarship to Syracuse University and a spot on a PBS special directed by the esteemed late John Houseman. Most of his characters are based on comedian Bill Cosby, whom he has played on "Family Guy" and "The Boondocks".

Richardson was married in May 2006. Currently he and his wife, Monica, live in Los Angeles with her two sons from a previous marriage, Anthony and Michael. A New York State native, Richardson is excited to return to work in Manhattan.
