Fred Willard, the comedic actor from Disney Movies and TV shows such as Wall-e, Kim Possible, Chicken Little and so many more has passed away peacefully Friday night at the age of 86.
According to Disney Fandom his Disney roles include Shelby Forthright, BnL CEO in WALL-E, the Secretary of the Interior in Planes: Fire & Rescue, additional voices in The Emperor’s New School, Jack Hench in Kim Possible, Dwayne Bouffant in Handy Manny, Melvin the Alien Dad in Chicken Little, Dad Howler in Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, Herb in Good Luck Charlie, Mr. Paulson in Teamo Supremo, Baruti in The Legend of Tarzan, Pa Muchapper in Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Grandpa Murphy in Milo Murphy’s Law, Mr. Stuffleby in Wizards of Waverly Place and Vic in Hercules The Animated Series. He also appeared on Muppets Tonight in episode 205. He also voiced Mr. Doozy in Mickey and the Roadster Racers, and he played Steve’s Manager in Chump Change, Ben Taylor in Lovewrecked and Mr. Ferguson in Youth in Revolt..
Willard’s daughter, Hope Mulbarger, said in a statement Saturday that her father died peacefully Friday night. The cause of his death has not been released.
“He kept moving, working and making us happy until the very end,” Mulbarger said. “We loved him so very much! We will miss him forever.”
Willard was rarely a leading man or even a major supporting character. He specialized in small, scene-stealing appearances.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
