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 actress Diane Keaton.
Keaton is known for his work in films
such as Batman, Beetlejuice, and Multiplicity. His
career suffered a lull until 2005's White Noise
Trivia

Reeve, who is best known for playing Superman, in

future Batman film actresses Nicole Kidman (My Life)
and Katie Holmes (First Daughter). He also made a
cameo appearance with another Batman George Clooney
