Bader's career as an actor goes back over twenty years, but his first noted appearance on stage occurred when he was a small child. When Bader was two years old, his family relocated to Paris, France. Early on, Bader developed a fondness for old movies and admired Fred Astaire and Charlie Chaplin. Bader was with his family at the theater watching a Chaplin movie when the old film burned in the projector. To the delight of the crowd, the four year old Bader got up on stage and entertained the crowd doing impersonations of Chaplin.http://www.diedrichbader.com/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0046033/

"I am so excited to show my kids this Batman. My son is his biggest fan and I think he may just burst into flame when it actually airs. He is the reason I wanted to do this. I wanted him to have a show he could watch at 5." — Diedrich Bader on his role as Batman.http://www.legionsofgotham.org/TOONSbraveBTSbaderinterview.html

"I think my years overseas made me an actor. It was so alienating that I was driven into my head and found true happiness at the movies. I wouldn't recommend it as a career path. Go for the food." — Interview with Omnicomic, December 2008.http://www.omnicomic.com/2008/12/interview-diedrich-bader-batman-brave.html
