PATRICK WARBURTON (Alien Cop)

PATRICK WARBURTON (Alien Cop) doesn’t miss a beat in providing comedy to his cameo vocal turn as an alien cop.

This is his second role in a Mark Dindal-directed animated comedy for Disney, following his much-loved 2000 turn as loveable doofus Kronk, slow-witted brawn to villainess Yzma’s brains in the hit animated feature “The Emperor’s New Groove.”
Warburton, owner of arguably the tallest voice in animation, first impressed himself on American audiences in the classic NBC sitcom “Seinfeld,” where he played Elaine’s on-again off-again boyfriend David Puddy, a laconic yet highly-principled mechanic-turned-car-salesman. Warburton first landed a role on “Seinfeld” playing a face-painted New Jersey Devils fan before assaying the role of Puddy, whom he portrayed regularly throughout the last four years of the show’s run.

In 2001, Warburton starred as big blue crimefighter “The Tick” in the short-lived Fox comedy series of the same name. His other live-action TV credits include regular appearances on “Less Than Perfect,” “Dave’s World,” “Ellen,” “8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,” and “NewsRadio,” in which he played corporate V.P. Johnny Johnson.

In the realm of animation voice-over Warburton has taken his low register to new comedic heights in such series as “Buzz Lightyear of Star Command,” in which he assayed the title role; “Family Guy”, playing handicapped neighbor Joe Swanson; and “Kim Possible,” playing overbearing high school coach Steve Barkin. Most recently, he has lent his voice to Prince Humperdinck in the upcoming feature, “Happily N’Ever After,” and will also have a role in “The Bee Movie,” a feature for 2007 starring Jerry Seinfeld as the voice of a dissatisfied bee who discovers humans are eating his product and decides to sue.

Warburton’s feature credits include the independent comedy-noir charmer “The Woman Chaser,” “The Apartment Complex,” “Scream 3,” “Joe Somebody,” “Camouflage,” the Australian comedy sleeper “The Dish,” and “Big Trouble” and “Men in Black II” (both for director Barry Sonnenfeld). This year, he appeared in the independent film “The Civilization of Maxwell Bright,” a dark comedy about a misanthrope who buys a mail-order wife.

A native Californian, Warburton grew up in Huntington Beach and currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and four children, Talon, Alexandra, Shane, and Gabriel.
