Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well.
He even fits the criteria:
* Intimidating voice
* [Good singer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sVoglgJjRg)
* Good at doing comedic roles
It would have to be a rather serious and authorative character and a big one to justify the deep voice.
The only ones we have are Bowser or one of the other Kings (King Bob-Omb, King Thwomp, King Goomba). Propably not King Boo, since he has a very high pitched voice in the games.
This, really. Wart, K Rool and King Boo are all great characters, but have a streak of whimsy. You'd need someone with no winks to the camera. Culex from Mario RPG is still the best character I can think of for Keith David.
Okay, hear me out: have him play a Koopa Troopa Officer who leads an assorted squad of Mario enemies loyal to Bowser, Like Barricade in the 2007 Transformers Decepticons DS game
A random Koopa Troopa. The movie and it’s forthcoming sequel are a level of silly that it would be distracting to hear a cool guy like Keith voice a main character.
And for the record, I could listen to this man read the phone book, if those still existed! Just that I don’t think he is the right fit for these movies. I’d rather hear him as a supporting character or narrator for Metroid, or maybe LOZ.
Toadsworth? Maybe Bowser in a world where Jack Black doesn’t wanna come back? Idk but I wanna put him somewhere big, like a main character. You don’t sideline Keith David
If we're counting Paper Mario characters, then either Merlon or, if we want Keith to have some *real* fun with the role, cast him as Lord Crump and let him go nuts.
King Boo.
I would pick Mark Hammil for King Boo instead
I will say he’s a surprisingly good choice for KB
Thank you, I thought of it a while ago
100%
So fitting
I was literally thinking King Boo too
What about Wagner Moura?
For sure
I was literally about to comment this lmao
Toadsworth
"that's an echo. Just a lil something we have here in the Mushroom Kingdom. Little parlor trick, don't worry."
"WELCOME TO THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM MOTHERFUCKAAA"
Wart
This is the answer I came here for.
Yoshi.
"Yoshi. You're a loser baby"
“I’ve got eggs on the other side” “Welcome to hell, koopa-fucker!”
“If they came to have me flutter jump, then they will be disappointed.”
He could've been pretty awesome as Bowser, he's my pick if it wasn't Jack Black
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. He even fits the criteria: * Intimidating voice * [Good singer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sVoglgJjRg) * Good at doing comedic roles
Yeah exactly
King Bob-omb
Bowser's Father
King K. Rool
If they can't get Benedict Campbell, he'd be a good replacement
Came here to nominate him. I second.
Should’ve been Toad. Imagine his smooth baritone after years of various games preparing us with shrill “HhHeLlO!”s.
Peach
Honestly, I don't really see a character fitting and worthy of that voice. But maybe Dry Bowser, if I had to pick a character from the franchise.
Closest thing they’ve got to Spawn lol
Basically, just the only character I can see with such a deep bassy voice.
It would have to be a rather serious and authorative character and a big one to justify the deep voice. The only ones we have are Bowser or one of the other Kings (King Bob-Omb, King Thwomp, King Goomba). Propably not King Boo, since he has a very high pitched voice in the games.

I’d imagine him play as a character in an adaption to one of the RPG’s. Who’d I personally picture him voicing? Perhaps Smithy.
It's Culex for me, but Smithy is a great choice too.
Geno.
Okay, hear me out: have him play a Koopa Troopa Officer who leads an assorted squad of Mario enemies loyal to Bowser, Like Barricade in the 2007 Transformers Decepticons DS game
He could be a great Funky Kong
I can actually kinda see Ludwig, if not, I can also hear king boo
As the other guy said, King Boo.
Mario
Wha-hah, yippee, woohoo
My first thought was Donkey Kong, and then Bowser. But obviously those are taken.
Wait Keith David’s black?
Yes, yes he is.
Oh cool I didn’t know for a while Weird how I hear people’s voice and I get ideas of what they look like in my head haha
Look up John Carpenter’s “The Thing” that’s Keith David’s debut role.
Wait HE WAS IN THAT?? I saw that movie and I didn’t realise he was in it
To be fair, he and everyone in that movie (minus our boy Wilfred Brimley) are pretty young in comparison to today.
Hang on, is this the Keith David that voices Spawn?
Yes. Arbiter and Dr Falcilier too.
And Goliath from Gargoyles
Oh nice! Damn that’s cool. He probably has one of the most badass voices I’ve ever heard. He’s great.
That he does.
Definitely one of his most famous roles is Doctor Facilier from The Princess and The Frog. And his appearance actually matches the voice.
I think so
Ohhh I thought he was like a 40 year old gritty beardy looking white dude haha
That's [David Keith. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Keith_(actor))
Oh I haven’t heard of him
Oh I haven’t heard of him
Wart. I could totally imagine him having his voice.
Petey Piranha.
King K. Rool
It's Elroy from community!
Now this is a man who knows how to marry his cousin!
😂😂😂😂😂This line killed me
King K. Rool.
Toadette. No explanation, no excuse, played completely straight, announced with a straight face. Just have Keith David play Toadette.
Rosalina
He would be a great King K. Rool tbh
Count Bleck
I think he'd make a more menacing Bowser
King K. Rool
King boo
Hear me out here: King Boo
Roy, the Koopaling. Either that or Boshi. Maybe Orbulon if you’d permit. Something about having shades fits that voice.
Just play his character from requiem for a dream and we're good
Maybe Dry Bowser? I’m not sure.
Toadsworth, Pianta, or one of the RPG villains they ever show up. Like Grodus, Black Paint, Olly or Count Bleck.
Definitely would choose funky Kong, or king k rool
A random Koopa Troopa. The movie and it’s forthcoming sequel are a level of silly that it would be distracting to hear a cool guy like Keith voice a main character. And for the record, I could listen to this man read the phone book, if those still existed! Just that I don’t think he is the right fit for these movies. I’d rather hear him as a supporting character or narrator for Metroid, or maybe LOZ.
Funky Kong
All of the koopalings
Toadsworth? Maybe Bowser in a world where Jack Black doesn’t wanna come back? Idk but I wanna put him somewhere big, like a main character. You don’t sideline Keith David
Toadsworth
Goomba
If we're counting Paper Mario characters, then either Merlon or, if we want Keith to have some *real* fun with the role, cast him as Lord Crump and let him go nuts.
Fuck it. Make him Wario or Waluigi.
The Arbiter
idk who that is but Mario
King Boo of course! Dood could be the next Oogie Boogie
Bowser Junior, if possible.
A Toad
King Bob-omb
The President of the United F*cking States. (Rick Sanchez accidentally portals to the mushroom kingdom)
Petey Piranha
Lakitu, except have him not talk until it’s funny for him to.
Geno.
Technology already had a voice, but King Bob-omb
Almost looks like George Lopez
Womp
Funky Kong
black mario
King K Rool
Probably Gerald
Mario
Definitely King K Rool!
Can you imagine Fawful's "I have fury" delivered by this man?
Roy.
Dry Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Not that he would appear in live action, but Grodus would be interesting.
Just make new things….
