Kane provided his voice as an announcer for theme park attractions at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, and served as an announcer for several Academy Awards ceremonies, as well as for the Adult Swim series The Eric Andre Show in its second season. In November 2020, Kane suffered a stroke which left him with significant weakness on the right side of his body and damage to his speaking, writing, and reading abilities. In September 2021, his daughter Sam confirmed that he had to retire from voice acting. She gave regular updates on Facebook about his condition.
