Early life
Keaton was born in Hacienda Heights, California, to a father from Brooklyn, New York and a mother from Lima, Peru.[1] He has three sisters: Danielle, Alitzah (Ali Navarro), and Sabrina. He is fluent in Spanish; he started his career as a child in Spanish and then later in English. As a child, he learned to speak some Quechuan from his maternal grandparents.

From 2008 to 2009, he voiced Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series on the CW. He was originally supposed to voice Spider-Man in the 2002 Spider-Man video game but his voice work was scrapped when Tobey Maguire came on to voice the character.[2] He also voiced Harry Osborn in the 2007 video game Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, and Spider-Man again in the 2010 video game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and the 2011 video game Spider-Man: Edge of Time.
