Kevin Schon is an American 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. Kevin'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. Schon was co-producer of Bat Boy: The Musical in the United Kingdom, first in a limited run in Leeds, then in a full-scale West End production at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London. Even though most press reviews were scathing, one notable exception - The Evening Standard - took up the cause for what became a groundbreaking cult classic which is now one of the most often-produced musicals in America. Film director John Landis was brought in to see the West End production and enthusiastically signed on to direct a film version. Though a film screenplay was written by the original authors under the guidance of Mr. Landis, the producers lost the rights to the property, the authors proved recalcitrant, vindictive and uncooperative, and the film remains unproduced.
