THE VOICE TALENTS:<br />
OWEN WILSON (Lightning McQueen) gives a fine-tuned comedic<br />
performance as the voice of a hotshot rookie race car that learns to get his kicks<br />
on Route 66.<br />
Wilson has made his mark in Hollywood as both an actor and writer for<br />
feature films. Last year, the actor had audiences in hysterics with his antics in the<br />
mega-hit comedy, “Wedding Crashers,” which became the sixth biggest film of<br />
the year. Among his most popular roles, he has twice played the character of<br />
Roy O’Bannon, the most laconic gunman in the old West in the hit Touchstone<br />
Pictures/Spyglass Entertainment features “Shanghai Noon” and “Shanghai<br />
Knights.”<br />
Wilson has had long-running creative collaborations with both his brother<br />
Luke and writer/director Wes Anderson. He co-wrote and starred in<br />
Anderson’s first film, “Bottle Rocket,” as well as co-writing and co-executive<br />
producing his second feature “Rushmore.” “The Royal Tenenbaums,” which he<br />
also co-wrote and starred in, earned him and Anderson nominations for an<br />
Academy Award ® for Best Original Screenplay.<br />
Wilson’s additional acting credits include “The Cable Guy,”<br />
“Armageddon,” “Permanent Midnight,” “Breakfast of Champions,” “Meet the<br />
Parents,” “Zoolander,” “Behind Enemy Lines,” “I Spy,” “Starsky and Hutch,”<br />
“Around the World in 80 Days,” and “Meet the Fockers.” His upcoming films<br />
include the comedy “You, Me and Dupree.”<br />
PAUL NEWMAN (Doc Hudson) lends his legendary voice to this solid<br />
citizen of Radiator Springs who never races to conclusions and ends up inspiring<br />
McQueen.<br />
Newman, who has two Oscars ® , has been one of the American cinema’s<br />
most important and most prolific actors for over half a century. He is a<br />
philanthropist, a humanitarian, a race car driver and the founder of a multimillion<br />
dollar food empire, Newman’s Own. In addition to giving the profits to<br />
charity, he also ran Frank Sinatra out of the spaghetti sauce business. On the<br />
downside, the spaghetti sauce is out-grossing his films.<br />
The films, which number more than fifty on his resume, have incidentally<br />
made him a screen legend. In 1987, he won an Academy Award ® for Best Actor<br />
for his performance as pool shark “Fast” Eddie Felson in Martin Scorsese’s “The<br />
Color of Money.” It marked a reprisal of the role he had played 25 years earlier<br />
in “The Hustler,” which had brought him his second of eight Best Actor Oscar ®<br />
nominations. He received his first Oscar ® nomination in 1959 for his work<br />
opposite Elizabeth Taylor in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” and has also been<br />
nominated for his performances in “Hud,” “Cool Hand Luke,” “Absence of<br />
Malice,” “The Verdict,” “Nobody’s Fool,” and “The Road to Perdition.”<br />
Newman has also been recognized for his work behind the camera,<br />
earning an Academy Award ® nomination for Best Picture and Golden Globe ®<br />
