Do you see it as a continuation of the original series, or do you think it makes more sense to reboot Gargoyles for a new generation?

Keith David: What kind of question is that? In a New York heartbeat, yes! Inverse: There’s been a lot of talk about bringing back Gargoyles. Keith David voiced Goliath in Gargoyles (1994-1997). Read the full conversation (edited for brevity and clarity) below. Over Zoom, David discusses everything from how he would reboot the Gargoyles in 2022 to why his Halo villain was so much more than just a villain. “Anytime they wanted to revise any part, I'd be right there to play along,” David says when I asked if he’d return as his character Elroy Patashnik in a heavily-anticipated reunion of the NBC sitcom Community. In his latest role, David plays a mild-mannered bar-owner in the pandemic-era indie comedy Unplugging, but he tells Inverse he’s more than ready to return to any of his best-known characters.

The New York City-born actor has appeared in some of the most popular shows, movies, and video games of the past four decades, using his baritone voice and expressive face to give emotion and depth to iconic heroes (like Gargoyles leader Goliath) and villains (like Halo’s Arbiter) alike. You might not recognize the name Keith David, but you’d definitely recognize his face - or, at the very least, his voice.
