Ideas for future Pixar actors

[tribefan695]

Has Jeff Bridges been mentioned yet? He so needs to have a cameo in Monsters, Inc. 2, even better if it’s a scene with Sulley and Randall.

I think Robert De Niro would be good. I remember reading in The Pixar Touch that he was the first choice to play Hopper in A Bug’s Life, but he turned it down immediately.

That’s too bad, I wonder why.

elle-jessie-eve - Here’s the explanation from The Pixar Touch:

Only the casting of Hopper proved problematic. Lasseter’s top choice, Robert De Niro, repeatedly turned the part down, as did a succession of other actors. The cause of the string of refusals was never clear; some in the company wondered whether sentimentality made De Niro and the others reluctant to play a scary-looking character in a film that children would see. In the end, Kevin Spacey took the part and gave Hopper an icily confident villainy.

Ah, alright, I remember now. I have the book! I guess I should re-read it.

It’s really for the best that they all turned the role down. Kevin Spacey was pitch perfect.

I agree totally. I think Hopper turned out as the best Pixar villain.

2 words- Stephen Colbert.

[IncredigirlVirginia]

Honestly, I’d be very intrigued if Catherine Zeta-Jones was cast as a lead lady in a Pixar project.

Natalie Portman’s voice is kinda cute. She could be a female lead.

[IncredigirlVirginia]

Honestly, I’m very hopeful that Craig T. Nelson might be in another Pixar film. It seems unlikely beyond question, and a random idea, but his voice is awesome.

I second that! I was watching a video of her on Seasame Street. I like her voice a lot.

[ellie-jessie-eve]

If Pixar ever had Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewert provide their voice, I’d be sooooo happy! Tina Fey would be another good choice too.

I would love if Pauley Perrette did a Pixar film !

@Violet Parr

I would love if Pauley Perrette did a Pixar film !

I’m not familier.

[Violet_Parr]

She plays my favorite character from NCIS: Abby. She’s basically awesomeness in a can . I think she’d be epic in a Pixar film.

Neil Patrick Harris

Looking back at earlier posts to see if any have been fufilled. This came close! Neil was originally cast for the Good Dinosaur but was recast.

Rachel McAdams

I’d like to see Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Jim Carrey, or even Melissa McCarthy
