Kenneth Earl Holliday (born June 25, 1949) is an American actor of stage, film, and television.

He was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male for his performance in the film Great World of Sound.

Holliday, a product of the Copiague area of Long Island, New York, was raised in a Christian home, born into a Baptist family.

As he recalled, times were turbulent, and the football team was preparing to go on strike against the NCAA over a change in coaches.

After graduation from college his first work was with the Inaugural Theater Group at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.

However, despite those problems he starred in the role of Carlyle in David Rabe's Vietnam War–era play Streamers at the Lincoln Theatre.

In early 1986, while providing the voice of Roadblock, he received a phone call from producers Fred Silverman and Dean Hargrove.
