Career

Warburton's acting roles often rely on his deep voice and large physique. In the mid to late 1990s, he was known for his role as David Puddy on "Seinfeld", the indifferent boyfriend of Elaine Benes. He also starred in FOX's short-lived, live-action series, "The Tick", in the title role. He appeared in the Australian film "The Dish" as a NASA official and on "NewsRadio" as Jimmy James's nemesis, Johnny Johnson. He had a role on the mid-1990s CBS sitcom "Dave's World," and had a memorable turn as Mary Jo's hunky but dumb love interest on "Designing Women," where he was brought back for the series' final episode. He also appeared as Officer Walter Kramitz in the 2002 movie "Big Trouble" and in the critically acclaimed art house film, "The Civilization of Maxwell Bright". He also plays the voice of Kronk in "The Emperor's New Groove". He had a small role, playing Agent T, in the 2002 movie "Men In Black II".

He plays Nick Sharp in "8 Simple Rules", and he voices Steve Barkin in the Disney Channel show "Kim Possible". He joined the cast of "Less Than Perfect" in 2003, as anchorman Jeb Denton. He returned to the role of Kronk for "Kronk's New Groove" (the sequel to the 2000 film, "The Emperor's New Groove") and the subsequent TV series "The Emperor's New School". His next major project was on the animated series "The Venture Bros.", under Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block; in it he voices Brock Samson, the Venture family's brutally effective bodyguard and former secret agent.

Warburton appeared on GSN's "Poker Royale Celebrities vs. the Pros" tournament in 2005. He made it to the Grand Finale and won the $100,000 grand prize.
