Ken Kramer was born in 1940 in Canada and was studying theatre in England when he met and married Sue Richmond (Sue Kramer). Both graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In 1966, they founded the Globe Theatre in Regina, Saskatchewan as a children's touring company. By 1970, the Globe had expanded to include adult productions, and by 1974, it presented a full adult season featuring at least one new Canadian play.
Ken acted in or directed many of the Globe’s ambitious productions, such as Macbeth (1985), Cyrano de Bergerac (1986), and King Lear (1986). He was appointed to the Order of Canada in 1988 and received a Lifetime Award for Excellence in the Arts from the Saskatchewan Arts Board in 1990. Following great success with the Globe Theatre, Ken moved to Vancouver, BC, where he has worked steadily in film, television, and voice acting.
As a film actor, he appeared in The Fantastic Four (2005), had a memorable role as a doctor going toe-to-toe with Marlon Wayans in Little Man (2006), and portrayed Gordon Trescott in No Men Beyond This Point (2015).
On television, he was a series regular on A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2001-2002), played Fritz Sauckel alongside Alec Baldwin in the TV miniseries Nuremberg (2000), appeared in MacGyver (1990), worked on a case with Fox Mulder in The X-Files (1996), and moved Joan Rivers to tears in Tears and Laughter: The Joan and Melissa Rivers Story (1994).
Renowned in the industry for his exceptional voice work, Ken lent his Shakespearean gravitas to animated projects like Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG - Individual Eleven (2005), voiced Master Bai-Luan in Sword of the Stranger (2007), and recently starred as the voice of Asterix in Asterix and Obelix: Mansion of the Gods (2014).
