Kevin Schon is an American former voice actor who is known for his voice-over work in video games, movies and television shows. He is best known as a voice double for Nathan Lane for animated media, most notably as Timon in the Timon & Pumbaa television series and in various other Disney related projects.
Career
Schon's first acting credit was in 1990 when he played Gillan and Gaias in the TurboGrafx CD video game Valis II. Two years later after his debut, he played Frank II and Mirabelle in The Naked Truth and two years after that, he played Daryl O'Melveny in A Kiss Goodnight.
Schon frequently served as a voice double for Nathan Lane. He voiced Timon in Timon & Pumbaa, The Lion Guard, and House of Mouse; Scott Helperman in Teacher's Pet while Lane was busy with The Producers; and Snowbell in Stuart Little and Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild. For three years, he was the "comedy voice" of the ABC television network, voicing all promos for their comedies (Home Improvement, Drew Carey, Roseanne, and Ellen, among others) and was the promo voice for Politically Incorrect when it moved from cable to ABC. Schon's voice appears in over 40 episodes of Married... with Children, with two on-camera appearances.
He also voiced Lob-Star in Skylanders: Trap Team and Skylanders: SuperChargers, Otto in Ben 10: Omniverse, Roboy in Bubble Guppies, Onyx in Sofia the First, Dead-Eye in Jumanji, various villains in The Incredible Hulk, Muk and Luk in the Balto franchise, and Pongo in 101 Dalmatians: The Series.
In late 2003, Schon produced More, an autobiographical one-woman show written and performed by Yeardley Smith at the Union Square Theatre in New York City. It was critically acclaimed, but financially unsuccessful.
In September 2004, Schon co-produced the West End production of Bat Boy: The Musical at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London.[1] That November, film director John Landis was attached to direct a film version of the musical.[2][3]
As of 2020, Schon has retired from voice acting and now lives in Palm Springs.[4]
