Rino Romano

Rino Romano is a Canadian actor and voice actor best known for voicing Bruce Wayne and Batman in the Emmy-award animated series, The Batman. Among his many other roles, he is also famous for his many years of narrating Curious George (for which he was nominated for a BVTA Award) and his leading voice roles in the likes of Godzilla: The Series, Spider-Man Unlimited, and Spaceballs: The Animated Series. He also narrated the courtroom reality show, Hot Bench, for six years and over 1,000 episodes. His live-action acting roles have included appearances in the likes of Traders, NYPD Blue, and Due South.

Romano’s career began back in the early 1990s when he had cameo appearances in TV movies and series. After a couple of small voice roles, he landed a regular job voicing Billy Dog in The Busy World of Richard Scarry, an animated children’s series that aired in America, Canada, and France and was still being rerun over 20 years after it was first shown. Voice work came to form an increasingly large part of his resume, with major roles including Eduardo Rivera in Extreme Ghostbusters and Randy Hernandez in Godzilla: The Series.

In 2004, Romano landed the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in a major animated series called The Batman. The show ran for five seasons and won six Daytime Emmy Awards, becoming both a commercial and critical success. A new generation will know and come to remember him as the narrator of Curious George, a preschool series that ran from 2006 to 2015 and was revived in 2020.
