Voice Casting For the Character "Russell" in Disney Pixar's "Up"

media@voices.com (http://www.voices.com) — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 08:53:25 -0500

Jordan Nagai voiced the character "Russell" in Disney Pixar's animated feature film "Up."

Producers found that Jordan's reads were very much like how a real kid would talk. He wasn't as experienced as an actor as most children doing voice over work, however, that worked to the character's advantage in terms of authenticity. The producers also wanted to make sure that they did not cast an "actor" kid and succeeded in finding Nagai for the role.

One producer related, "When you cast the voice, the voice ends up influencing a character and once you sort of embrace the actor that you've cast and fold that into the character that you are portraying on the screen, I think it becomes a stronger, more unique character and that's what happened with Russell."
