Speaking of HORNSWIGGLE
Hornswiggle is being voiced by veteran actor Rene Auberjonis.
Rene came in to audition for BIRDSDORF, but while we had him in the recording booth we had him try out for HORNSWIGGLE as well. His take was original and impressive - totally off the cuff and hilarious.
You may know Rene from his various roles - as Odo on STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE or from Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H, or his current role on BOSTON LEGAL.
Or you may know his voice from various cartoon series - such as Xiaolin Showdown, Justice League - or animated features such as THE LITTLE MERMAID (as Chef Louie), CATS DON’T DANCE and LITTLE NEMO.
His unique vocals on HORNSWIGGLE are nothing like any of those. In fact, in my humble opinion, this may be the greatest performance ever given by an actor — as a rhino.
By the way, his last name is pronounced o-ber-jen-waah.

As I told Jerry, I first saw Rene in Robert Altman’s unique 70s film “Brewster McCloud.” His performance was memorable enough that I’ve kept my eyes on him ever since. I’m thrilled to have him star in one of our shorts.
