Michael Keaton, (born September 9 or September 5, 1951 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania) is an American actor.
Keaton was born in an Irish Catholic family of 7 children.
Keaton's real name is
Michael John Douglas, but he could not use his real last name professionally because the Screen Actors Guild prohibits two actors from using the same name, and his name would have conflicted with those of Mike Douglas or
Michael Douglas. He picked "Keaton" after
Buster Keaton, the silent-film star.
Keaton is known for his work in films such as Batman
, Beetlejuice
, and Multiplicity. However, his career has suffered a lull of late, as his last appearance in a major movie was in 1997.
