Garlin to voice "Captain" in WALL•E!

Moviehole.net has a great interview with Jeff Garlin! In the interview Jeff talk about his work that he is doing on WALL•E right now...


Now, I’m sure audiences are particularly excited about the fact that you’re in this highly anticipated Wall-E.


Jeff: Oh how do you know that?



Well because I know everything.



Jeff: You do know everything. That’s been on the QT. As a matter of fact you’re the first person who’s asked me about that. I recorded a lot of it already. I’ve got more stuff to do. But I can tell you … what can I tell you about it? It’s sort of like a – well if I could compare it to anything I’d say if Buster Keaton made an outer space cartoon … that’s what the movie is. It’s like a science fiction Buster Keaton kind of movie.



How are you at doing voice work and how …



Jeff: The voice I do in this movie is my own voice.



And you play the Captain …



Jeff: How do you know this!?



I tell you I …



Jeff: OK yes I play the Captain and it’s pretty much my own voice. And the character looks a lot like me. made it – in the movie I’m the only animated character that speaks.



Because a lot of the film is silent right?



Jeff: Yeah a lot of the film is silent and they’re robots so they make noises and such and there’s sound but I’m one of the only characters that speak – not one of them – I am the only animated character that speaks. There’s another character but I can’t talk about it. But I’m the only animated character that speaks.



What was it like working with Andrew Stanton?



Jeff: I have to say, just like working with Larry David or Eddie Murphy, I put him in that class. He’s really special, he’s pretty – I guess the term would be ‘immensely talented’.



So Jeff Garlin will be the voice of the only animated character to speak in WALL•E. Not mentioned in that piece of the interview is that the non-animated characters who speak are to be played by Barbra Streisand and Fred Willard.
