When I was growing up, and so many of us, we had toys, and a lot of times they were action figures, and you created all kinds of stories around your action figures, and anybody who's familiar with the Marvel Universe, or some of the other superhero universes, you create your own stories around those characters. I think that character is made for all kinds of adventures. The minds behind Toy Story 4 have made it seem like there won't be another sequel, are there adventures you wish you could continue to explore as Carl? They can see how flexible you are with your creativity, and somehow, in the end, it all comes out and works out really well.Ĭombat Carl was first mentioned in 1995, but didn't come alive until 2013. You're always asked if you've got another version, "Give me another version," and very often after you've gotten this thing warmed up a little bit in the studio, you come up with ideas, and you see how flexible they are. Those jobs really are collaborative jobs because the writers and the director have a specific idea of how it's all going to integrate in the finished product, but of course, if they're asking you, they're asking you for a reason, whatever it is that you bring to that character, and the celebrity that you had, and how the audience recognizes ability, et cetera.
If they were specifically coming to you with the role, did they have a pretty specific vision of how you would bring that character to life or did you get to bring your own perspective to creating the character?
And then, of course, when they came back to me with this idea for the movie, which I've known about way before the movie was made, I thought, yeah, of course, I'm in. There are kids who were going to be around for God knows how long, probably long gone, and kids will still be around to see Toy Story of Terror on television at Halloween. So there's an audience beyond the immediate audience that's going to see that. One thing, an actor who's been around for a while knows that, particularly, when it's going to be something that has to do with Halloween, then you have something that ultimately is annual, perhaps. I knew early on that it was going to be released for television. They reached out to my representatives, who came to me with the idea, and, my goodness, we're talking about really iconic filmmakers and animated movies that have just been through the roof, so how do you not know of them? And to really be flattered that they would ask you. You first voiced Combat Carl in Toy Story of Terror, how did that opportunity come about? Were you a fan of the series and were looking to get into it however you could?
