Nov 5 2009Zach Galifianakis Donating Voice to Shrek Thing
Joining a vocal cast that already includes most key members of the The Mask of Zorro Desperado (whups!), the always enjoyable Zach Galifanakis is negotiating to provide the voice of Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots. The animated picture, as its title implies, follows Antonio Banderas's swashbuckling cat character and the events that led to his being in Shrek 2. Salma Hayak is also signed on, and presumably plays some kind of girl cat that also has a thick accent.
When will society finally evolve to the point of no longer typecasting fat people to voice fat animated characters? Not yet. Not yet.

I'm ok with anything this man chooses to do. Or not do. And by not do i mean shave.
That thing is glorious. It is now beard #1, God rest Billy May's soul.

@IWS writer:
I don't want to sound like a fag or anything for knowing this, but salma hayak wasn't in mask of zorro, that was catherine zeta jones. hayak was in desperado with banderas, though. and once upon a time in mexico

Zach is just about always enjoyable, though sadly the venue he was provided with when he did a standup show at UMass was awful. They packed the gym with chairs and the acoustics made it nearly impossible to hear him during the entire set.
