Actors Who Have Played More Than One DC Character

With his intimidating presence and inimitable voice, Clancy Brown has been one of the best character actors in Hollywood for decades. As a result, he typically plays villains more than heroes. The same holds true in terms of his DC appearances. Just as Mark Hamill became the definitive voice of the Joker in «Batman: The Animated Series,» Brown did the same for Lex Luthor in «Superman: The Animated Series.» He returned to voice Superman’s nemesis in «Justice League,» «The Batman,» «Superman/Batman: Public Enemies,» «Lego Batman: The Movie – DC Super Heroes Unite,» and several video games. Surprisingly, no one ever thought of casting him as a live-action Lex, though he certainly could have pulled it off.

Brown also voices minor and supporting characters in animated series such as «Batman Beyond,» «Teen Titans,» «Batman: The Brave and the Bold,» «Young Justice,» and «Green Lantern: The Animated Series.»

In live action, Brown appears as General Wade Eiling, who’s responsible for overseeing the military’s meta-human projects, in several episodes of «The Flash.» The actor is also set to play crime lord Salvatore Maroni in the live-action «The Penguin» series, starring alongside Colin Farrell’s Oswald Cobblepot.
