What Happened To Every Pre-1990s Actor?

"Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" was a completely different show from "Spider-Man," despite the fact that they featured the same main character, had the same general aesthetic, and both debuted in 1981. "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" starred Dan Gilvezan, a Missouri-born theater actor who moved to Los Angeles. His portrayal of Spider-Man was among his first voice-acting gigs. Interestingly, he also became the on-camera spokesman for Jack in the Box at around the same time, a three-year run that opened voice-over opportunities for him in TV and radio advertising.

Since then, he has acted and voice-acted in over 100 animated series, live-action TV shows, movies, commercials, and even video games. He has lent his voice to other iconic pop culture characters as well. He provided the voice of Colossus in 1989's "Pryde of the X-Men," while old-school fans of the Transformers franchise know him best as the movie and video game voice of G1 Bumblebee (he even wrote a book about it).  His most recent credited TV appearance was in an episode of 2021's "The Morning Show."

Interestingly, he made a comeback of sorts to the Spider-Man franchise when he voiced Miguel O'Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, in the 2010 video game "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions." Currently residing in LA with his wife and daughter, Gilvezan continues to appear at various fan expos and pop culture conventions.
