Keaton first got his start as an actor through the show called Where the Heart Is in 1975. That same year, he was also part of the show called Mister Rogers both as an actor as well as a production assistant.

While continuing on these roles, Keaton also started to work for the Pittsburgh theatre where he was part of the play called Sticks and Bones. Since he was looking for ways to increase his income, he found that doing stand-up comedy was a good option and did this as well.

Keaton then got a gig to work for the series called Working Stiffs which did provide him with access to a wider audience. Yet, it was his involvement in the comedy called Mr. Mom which led to his breakthrough in the industry. This led to several other film roles one after another for him.

He was part of films such as Gung Ho as well as The Dream Team during this time as well as part of Touch and Go. He had established himself to some extent by the time he played these roles. Yet, among the biggest hits of his career would be through the film Batman which was produced by Warner Bros.

Though initially Keaton was criticized by the fans for being the wrong fit to portray the character of Batman, his performance would do all the talking leading to his status to stardom. He was also part of its sequel called Batman Returns that was released in 1992 and followed the success that the original film had gotten.

If it were not for Keaton’s disapproval regarding the new director of this film franchise, we might have seen him in the following sequel of Batman Forever as well but Keaton decided to focus on other projects instead.
