Elio's Brad Garrett on Finally Getting to be the Villain
16Pixar’s latest sci-fi adventure, Elio, is set to beam into theaters June 20. Following an 11-year-old boy, Elio (voiced by Yonas Kibreab), who feels so lonely and out of place on Earth that he has tried to ask aliens to abduct him and whisk him away into the galaxy. When the day finally comes and Elio is beamed up into space, he finds himself accidentally in the role of Earth’s ambassador to the Communiverse, and at the center of an intergalactic, high-stakes adventure where he must embrace the unknown rather than be fearful, all while making unexpected connections and friendships along the way.
Joining the cast headed by rising star Kibreab (Sweet Tooth) is Brad Garrett, who lends his voice to Lord Grigon. The role is the fourth time Garrett has done voice work for Pixar films, with his former work providing the iconic voices to Dim from A Bug’s Life, Bloat from Finding Nemo, and Auguste Gusteau in Ratatouille. As the father of Glordon (Remy Edgerly), Elio’s newfound best friend, Lord Grigon shapes up to be the film’s primary antagonist, though he initially takes the young Elio under his wing.
While discussing the film in an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Garrett discusses his multi-decade career working with Pixar, reminiscing on some of his previous iconic roles, as well as revealing his favorite movie theaters in Los Angeles.
