===Voice-over work=== Probably owing in part to his distinctive [[North-Central American English|North-Central]] accent, Keillor is often used as a [[voice-over]] actor. Some notable appearances include: * Voiceover artist for Honda UK's "the Power of Dreams" campaign. The campaign's most memorable advertisement is the 2003 [[Honda Accord]] commercial ''[[Cog (television commercial)|Cog]]'', which features a [[W. Heath Robinson|Heath Robinson]] contraption (or [[Rube Goldberg Machine]]) made entirely of car parts. The commercial ends with Keillor asking, "Isn't it nice when things just work?"<ref>{{Cite web |title=Creative Club - Home |url=https://www.creativeclub.co.uk/prelogin/home.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929010925/http://www.creativeclub.co.uk/prelogin/mg.aspx?m=tv&r=208543&ref= |archive-date=September 29, 2007 |access-date=February 5, 2021 |website=Creativeclub.co.uk}}</ref> Since then, Keillor has voiced the tagline for most if not all UK Honda advertisements, and even sang the voiceover in the 2004 Honda Diesel commercial ''[[Grrr (advert)|Grrr]]''.<ref>{{YouTube|puGvk1RgmrE|Grr Commercial}}</ref> His most recent ad was a reworking of an existing commercial with digitally added England flags to tie in with the [[2006 FIFA World Cup|World Cup]]. Keillor's tagline was "Come on, England, keep the dream alive." * Voice of the Norse god [[Odin]] in an episode of the Disney animated series ''[[Hercules: The Animated Series|Hercules]]'' * Voice of [[Walt Whitman]] and other historical figures in [[Ken Burns]]'s documentary series ''[[The Civil War (TV series)|The Civil War]]'' and ''[[Baseball (TV series)|Baseball]]'' * Narrator of "River of Dreams" Documentary at the [[National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium]] in Dubuque, Iowa * In 1991, Keillor released ''[[Songs of the Cat]],'' an album of original and parody songs about cats.
