Fred Willard On Camera In WALL•E

Cast Live Action News WALL-E


We have known for quite some time now that actor, Fred Willard will be appearing in WALL-E come June next year. What we didn’t know was, however, what form Fred Willard would take. We knew that Jeff Garlin would play the character, The Captain, and would be the only animated speaking character, but where did that leave Willard?

Willard has confirmed with Rotten Tomatoes that he will be appearing in his full, true, physical, live action form.

"I’m going to be the first live character in a Pixar movie," said Willard. "I appear on a TV monitor but I’m more than a voice. Jeff Garlin is a voice but people are saying, ‘Oh, you’re a voice.’ No, I actually appear. People will say, ‘Oh, that’s Fred Willard.’"

Willard also reconfirms that he is playing the CEO of the Buy ‘n’ Large Corporation. He also mentions that he has finished recording his material, however might be called back for another session. You can read the full article here.
