Dear Mr. Keaton,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in watching cartoon shows, studying history, and I enjoy cartoons where you voice as different characters. The main reasons I like to watch cartons because I like seeing how different characters in a cartoon can have an interesting personality with a sense of humor, seeing more character’s come alive where they can have more expression or have a role, and many others. Mr. Keaton, I consider you one of my favorite cartoon voice actor because you do such a great job making superheroes character in cartoons have a great balance between action, learning more about how to use their abilities, and have a sense of humor. My favorite cartoons that you worked on were Spectacular Spiderman and The Green Lantern: The Animated Series. In Spectacular Spiderman, I enjoyed watching season 1-2 because I enjoyed the episodes about how Peter Parker works hard understanding his powers, find a balance between being a superhero and a regular person, and how Peter Parker shows his humor side or his caring personality. Also in that show I thought you really did an excellent job portraying including voicing Peter Parker/Spiderman because I liked on how you made Peter Parker have an interesting character where he learns his abilities, learn lessons on how to improve himself, and many others. After the show got cancelled, I liked on how you made a comeback to voice as Hal Jordan in Green Lantern: The Animated Series. In 2012, I started to watch the show on Cartoon Network and I enjoyed watching the first episode. I enjoyed watching the first episode because I liked learning about Hal Jordan’s origin becoming Green Lantern and learning about how different main characters like Kilowog, Razer, and Aya are going to assist Hal Jordan on saving the galaxy. The main reason I liked Green Lantern: The Animated Series is because I liked on how Hal Jordan used his super abilities to do good things, how he has compassion for people to make things right when they cause problems for example like Hal Jordan lets Razer, his former enemy help him save the galaxy, learns how to have good teamwork with Razer, Aya, and Kilowog. Mr. Keaton, you were great voicing and portraying Hal Jordan because I liked on how you made him have great characteristics like caring for his teammates, learning more about using his Green Lantern ring, and having compassion while working hard to do the right thing.

Even though both of the cartoon series got cancelled, I was very proud of you for working hard being a voice actor and continue working on different projects. I have Autism with a learning disability and having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble with comprehension when learning different things and I get teased by other people about having a disability. Mr. Keaton, your work on being a voice actor in superhero cartoons and making superheroes have good traits really inspires me to work hard on Autism with a learning disability, learn about how superheroes can learn from their struggles, and for some superheroes to have compassion or work as a team. Also your work on superheroes really gets me even more interested in learning about superheroes’ origins including watching more cartoons and try to read comic books. Also I was wondering if you could please share some advice about how to become a voice actor for cartoon and videogames because I have an interest in becoming a voice actor for a cartoon and videogames. I have card wishing you a Happy birthday for February 8^th including my drawing of the Green Lantern logo and a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me.

Mr, Keaton, I strongly believe that you made a great difference as a voice actor for cartoons including superheroes cartoons. You do such a great job making cartoon character come alive and makes the character have a story. You have made an impact on me to continue working hard on autism and to be interested in superheroes. I wish you well for the future and to continue your role as a voice actor. My dream is someday to voice in cartoons or in videogames. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make cartoons fun to watch, and inspiring me. Have a great birthday for February 8^th and a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
