Aside from voice acting, Kenny starred in The Edge and was a cast member of Mr. Show, where he worked with his wife Jill Talley (who is the voice of Karen in SpongeBob).

He also voiced Wally in two episodes of The X's, the taller Nanobot in episodes of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, Joey in the The Wild Thornberrys episode "Pal Joey", and Buzz Harris in the As Told by Ginger episode "Ms. Foutley's Boys".
