Who Plays Salvatore Maroni in The Penguin?

Salvatore Maroni is played by fan-favorite actor Clancy Brown, who has his own prolific history with various DC Comics multimedia adaptations. Brown’s most long-running DC role is voicing Lex Luthor in the DC Animated Universe and a number of other DC projects, including animated movies and video games. Previously, Clancy also had a live-action DC role in the Arrowverse as General Eiling on The Flash. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brown voiced Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok and had a live-action role as Colonel Ray Schnoover in Daredevil and The Punisher.

Outside of playing comic book characters like Maroni in The Penguin, Brown voices Mr. Krabs across countless Spongebob Squarepants-related multimedia and Savage Opress in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Brown’s memorable live-action roles include the villainous prison guard Bryon Hadley in The Shawshank Redemption, the undead Sheriff Gus Gilbert in Pet Sematary Two, and no-nonsense drill instructor Sergeant Zim in Starship Troopers. On television, Brown’s recent live-action roles include appearing as President Lyndon Baines Johnson on The Crown and as the twisted serial killer Kurt Caldwell in Dexter: New Blood.

Premiering on HBO, the show is set to bridge the gap between The Batman and its unnamed sequel, currently in pre-production and featuring the return of filmmaker Matt Reeves and Caped Crusader star Robert Pattinson. What impact Salvatore Maroni will have on The Penguin is sure to play a pivotal role on the dark crime story.
