  "account": "Actor Reid Scott has donned the voices of two important father figures within the DC Universe. Before his role on Law & Order, Scott portrayed Jonathan Kent in the animated series My Adventures with Superman. Kent serves as one of Superman's primary role models, teaching the young Clark to be kind and grounded despite his extraordinary powers. Later, Scott voiced Commissioner Gordon in both Merry Little Batman and the series Bat-Fam. Gordon, father to Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, is a loving and protective figure who shares a strong sense of justice with his daughter. Scott's voice work also includes roles such as Green Arrow, Victor Zsasz, and Onomatopoeia. He has expressed a preference for animated roles, finding them more expressive and cathartic compared to live-action acting. As he moves forward in his career, Scott balances his live-action and voice work while saying goodbye to his Law & Order tenure.",
