RIP Paul Newman. Your voice acting in “Cars” will not be forgotten. I will always remember your wonderful performances in “The Sting”, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, “Road to Perdition”, and countless other movies.
You know what I think? I think Bud Luckey should do Doc Hudson’s voice in Cars 2. I think he’s the closest thing to Paul Newman, and he’s already done stuff for Pixar. Let me know what you guys think.
