A Scottish actor, “How To Practice Your Dragon” will even permit Butler to behave together with his pure dialect, which implies I am going to most definitely be crying if I get to observe him say “You are as stunning because the day I misplaced you.” Superstar stunt casting typically hurts animated movies, however each on occasion, an actor will throw themself into the artwork of voiceover work and rework a personality into one thing very particular. Gerard Butler is a kind of individuals, and I’ve little question that he will completely dazzle us within the position in stay motion.
