Early last April, we learned that an actor by the name of Jordan Nagai would be the voice of "Wilderness Explorer" Russell (pictured at left) in Pixar's Up. There being no references available as to the identity of Nagai, I asked, "Who the heck" is he?Well, after months of inquiry, countless unanswered emails, and 'you should ask... about that' responses, a member of the Pixar publicity team finally divulged earlier today that Nagai is 'a kid Pixar found at a casting call'. Indeed, a first time actor.
Now we know.

Please, somebody, comment!
Ummm..... OK. I "stalk" you blog all the time but have never commented.
Loved Wall-E but The Incredibles is still my favorite, well and Nemo and ummmm Monsters Inc. OK, I like them all except Bug's Life.
We have all the short stories as well.
Not sure that is what you wanted for a comment but take what you can get :)
haha @ "Please, somebody, comment!"
When you refused to allow my last comments..
Cool. I would love to do a voice for Pixar. I envy this child.
JP: When did I do that?
I always think it weird that A Bug's Life gets the least amount of love out of all the Pixar movies...it's my favorite of them all.
Just thought I'd say that.
I love A Bug's Life too, but what does it have to do with this post?
@Mike: colepack said he didn't like 'A Bug's Life'.
@Neal: I agree. I really like it too. (But it's not my favorite)
Hey I know this is really off topic, but what is your favorite pixar movie? You too Mike. Just wanting to know other people's opinion. Mine I would have to say is either the toy story series or finding nemo. Its a tough choice. But surprisingly the movie that seems to be everyone's favorite is my least favorite: The Incredibles. I like it a lot but just not the best.
My favorites are Ratatouille and The Incredibles I have to say! I do love them all! And I love love love WALL-E, but there's something with Ratatouille and The Incredbiles that is just... Wow!
just as a comment, colepack is female :)
I may not prefer bug's life to other pixar movies but it is still a lot better than non-pixar movies.
hey, what does Jordan Nagai look like?
Looking forward to this movie. Jordan Nagai is one lucky kid!
What does he look like? Is this his first movie/show to star in? And good job on picking the voice for Russel. His voice is so cute!!!! Hope you read this message!!!!
