  • Marcus Talks To Actor Patrick Warburton About His "Preposterous" Role In Zootopia 2
    Nov 25 2025
    Marcus had a chance to hang out with Actor/Comedian/Voiceover Icon Patrick Warburton. You know him from such well-known roles as Puddy on Seinfeld, and the voice of Buzz Lightyear, Joe from Family Guy, and The Tick (among many others). We discussed his character “Mayor Windancer” in the new movie Zootopia 2 (out in theaters 11/26) and how much fun he had in that role (He calls him an absolutely preposterous “gaffoon.”). We also talked about what his favorite role has been, what it’s like to transition from the screen to the VO booth, to the (stand-up comedy) stage. Plus how his family keeps him in shape, in check, and whether or not they care if he’s famous. Such a fun hang!

    Catch him in Zootopia 2: In theaters November 26th!
