Dominic Keating’s Journey From Leicester to the Gaming World

Long before Blizzard Entertainment’s dungeon-crawling epic took the world by storm, a Leicester-born actor with a history degree and a stage background was quietly building one of the more unexpected second acts in British entertainment. Dominic Keating – born Dominic Power on July 1, 1961 – took his mother’s surname professionally, trained at University College London, and cut his teeth on UK theatre before television came calling. The sitcom Desmond’s gave him his first sustained TV presence in the late 1980s, but it was a science fiction franchise that made his voice recognizable across two continents.

Star Trek: Enterprise and the Making of Malcolm Reed

Four seasons aboard the NX-01 as Lieutenant Malcolm Reed cemented Keating’s standing in genre television. The armory officer he played from 2001 to 2005 was understated and precise – a character that suited his clipped British delivery. That same quality of controlled authority translated cleanly into voice work. His first video game credit came as early as 2000 with Starlancer, a space combat title that predated his Trek fame, suggesting the interest in the medium was there well before it became a serious part of his output.

Diablo III and Kormac the Templar

Blizzard’s 2012 action RPG gave Keating his most substantial voice acting showcase. As Kormac the Templar – one of the companion characters who travels alongside the player throughout the campaign – he anchored one of the game’s most complete narrative arcs. Kormac’s story moves from brainwashed zealotry to earned self-awareness, and Keating’s performance tracked that shift with conviction. The role carried through to Diablo III: Reaper of Souls and continued into Diablo IV with additional voices, making his connection to that franchise one of the longest-running threads in his voice career.

Epic Mickey 2 and the Gremlin Prescott Arc

Disney’s 2012 sequel gave Keating the role of Gremlin Prescott, a character whose arc required him to play both sympathetic inventor and scheming antagonist across the same game. It was a departure from the stoic military figures he had become associated with – and it demonstrated range that the Diablo work, with its more singular heroic register, didn’t demand. Behind The Voice Actors confirms this as one of his most recognized voice credits.

The Blizzard Connection and World of Warcraft

Beyond Diablo, Keating contributed additional voices to multiple World of Warcraft expansions – Legion, Battle for Azeroth, Shadowlands, and Dragonflight among them. This kind of sustained collaboration with a single studio over nearly a decade is unusual, and it speaks to the relationship he built with Blizzard’s casting teams. The collective weight of those credits makes him a recognizable voice inside one of gaming’s most durable franchises, even when the specific characters he plays remain uncredited.
