Hey guys, who's playing Wreckgar in this weekend's episode? Do we have a list of all of the actors playing in this show. I know the same voice actor for Blur will reprise his role, and that Susan played Arcee, but I know they couldn't get Eric to play Wreckgar. Was it Wierd Al afterall?
According to people who went to Botcon, Eric Idle was contacted but couldn't. Rewatching season 3 (esp. The Big Broadcast of 2006 (ha!)), whoever replaced him did a great job. Having Wreckgar say 'I pity the fool' is made from pure and uncut win. Happy motoring, &c.
Weird Al does a fantastic Wreck Gar. He pulls off the wackiness of the character so brilliantly that he steals every scene he is in (except one with the Angry Archer).
I don't mind the change. Whoever did Wreck-Gar in Season 3 was horrible... he had a high-pithced voice, and with the added robotic sound effects, I could never understand a word he was saying... Eric Idle is doing a lot of VO these days, he has been in the Simpsons a few times recently.
