Aron Kincaid (born Norman Neale Williams II;[1] June 15, 1940[citation needed] – January 6, 2011) was an American actor, known for voicing Killer Croc on Batman: The Animated Series and Sky Lynx on The Transformers. He also voiced characters for The Smurfs, and DuckTales, among others. In his later years he also had careers as a model and an artist.

Early life

Kincaid graduated from Oakland High School.[2] After graduation, he served in the United States Coast Guard reserve.[citation needed]

Career

While attending UCLA, Kincaid was spotted in a local stage production by a casting agent and signed to a contract with Universal Pictures.[1] Kincaid then landed a regular role in the final season of the television sitcom Bachelor Father (1962) as Warren Dawson, Bentley Gregg's junior partner and fiancé of Kelly, Gregg's niece.[1]

Kincaid subsequently appeared with Noreen Corcoran in the 1965 comedy The Girls on the Beach and had roles in Beach Ball and Ski Party and made as a "guest appearance" in Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine.[3] He was considered for the lead of The Graduate before director Mike Nichols chose Dustin Hoffman; Kincaid's agent turned down a cameo to play Elaine Robinson's (Katharine Ross) groom in the film.[4]

His other film roles include the Disney musical The Happiest Millionaire, The Proud and the Damned and Silent Night, Deadly Night. He also made guest appearances on TV series such as The Beverly Hillbillies, Family Affair, and Get Smart. He moved to San Francisco in the early 1970s and launched a successful career as a model.[citation needed]

Still later, as an artist, Kincaid used the name N.N. Williams II. He sold his landscapes and seascapes through galleries in Laguna Beach, California.[citation needed]

Death

Later in life, Kincaid came to live in Beverly Hills. He died at age 70 on January 6, 2011, at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Hospital from a heart-related condition.[1]
