One of my favorites from the 80's and 90's. My favorite movie of his is My Life. Will leave you balling no matter how tuff you think you are.

Born in mid-70's and grew up with the 80's Keaton movies.

I was too young to know at the time and only learned when watching Norm McDonald's talk show on Netflix the Keaton started as a standup comedian.

If you have not watched it already, find that Netflix episode. Michael Keaton was absolutely F'ing hysterical and watching the two riff off of each other is priceless television.

My wife and I both were left with a "shamwow that dude is hilarious" impression.
Check out Fly on the Wall podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade where they interview him and he talks about his standup a little. You can tell he has immense respect for standups and how hard it is and even talked about a lesser known actor who casually told him one time he could have been a stand up if he wanted to like it wasn't that difficult and it really pissed him off.

He is the best actor ever, just for the delivery of this one line


I use that reference all the time at work and none of the engineers under 30 get it.

Honey, if you need me, I'll either be at the gym or the gun club.

I can do this all day.

Mr. Mom is pissed bc he thinks his wife is cheating with Martin Mull. Phone rings, he says hello 2x and throws the phone across the room. I almost wet my pants from laughing as a kid.

I was like many, I couldn't believe he got the Batman part but he did nail it. Years later, same thing with Ben Affleck. Then Robert Pattinson.

Dream Team with Michael Keaton and Christopher Lloyd is a good one.

His versatility actually hurts him in these type of comparisons. He's a great, but it won't be realized by most until he's gone.

Something about being an architect on the World Trade Center- while we're here let's put up another one.

Great actor. He took roles that he could deliver, and he always delivered.

Love Michael Keaton!

Can do comedy.

Can do drama.

Understands character nuance.

Can be a supporting player, but is good enough to steal scenes.

He's under rated.
