Kevin Conroy, who gave the animated Batman an iconic voice for decades, died Thursday after battling cancer, according to a press release from Warner Bros.
"Kevin was perfection," Hamill said in the Friday statement."He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated."
Born in in Westbury, New York, and raised in Westport, Connecticut, Conroy started out as well-trained theater actor. Before getting the call to suit up as Batman, Conroy was a stage actor studying at The Julliard School and roomed with Robin Williams. The 1980s production of"Eastern Standard," in which Conroy played a TV producer secretly living with AIDS, had particular meaning to him. Conroy, who was gay, said at the time he was regularly attending funerals for friends who died of AIDS. He poured out his anguish nightly on stage.
Conroy began the role without any background in comics and as a novice in voice acting. His Batman was husky, brooding and dark. His Bruce Wayne was light and dashing. His inspiration for the contrasting voices, he said, came from the 1930s film,"The Scarlet Pimpernel," about an English aristocrat who leads a double life.
