“Cars 2” Roundtables: Fond First Car Memories with Larry the Cable Guy and Emily Mortimer Michael Lee, June 22, 2011June 25, 2011 Pixar has a passion for animation, and they have a keen eye (or ears) for actors and actresses. They just don’t cast them because of their name; they cast them because they have the ability to bring heart into their stories. Larry the Cable Guy and Emily Mortimer are just some of those kinds of actors that Pixar wants. Although the two didn’t voice their parts together in the same room, they talk about the experience they had in the voice booths and how passionate John Lasseter is to bringing a perfect movie to its audience. Mortimer talks about how her credibility with her seven-year old was raised now that she is imortalized as a sleek and savvy spy car, and Larry talks about how he and the director have a very close connection Mater. They also talk about what their first cars were and the kinds of trouble they had or got into while driving their cars.
