Superhero Hype! has the scoop on an Entertainment Weekly article that discusses Pixar’s upcoming The Incredibles.
Though you might expect an action stud like Vin Diesel or The Rock to be voicing the herculean Mr. Incredible, the superlead is played by…Craig T. Nelson. (Holly Hunter speaks for his wife, Elastigirl.) “There’s a school of thought that you simply go out and get a bunch of celebrities, the bigger the better, throw some animation around them, and try to coast a little bit on whatever reservoir of goodwill the voice provider has,” says writer-director Brad Bird (The Iron Giant), who couldn’t possibly be alluding to bombs like last year’s Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas with Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones. “I imagine the characters first, and then try to find a voice for them. Craig’s a terrific actor.” Is this a nice way of saying Nelson has a face for voice-over?
