Previously, the former Undateable star has played characters on animated TV shows such as Adventure Time, Bojack Horseman, Apple TV+’s musical Central Park, and even Netflix’s Trolls spin-off series, Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, yet The One and Only Ivan does mark Funches’ first role in a “cinematic” hybrid of live action with animation.
In, arguably, the most fun role out of all the film’s animal characters is Ron Funches, who plays Murphy, a bunny rabbit whose performance in Mack’s show involves him riding around the ring in a miniature fire truck with working water hose.
Despite an onscreen career that dates back only nine years, the comedian is probably the most experienced voice acting veteran out of the entire cast, with Murphy being his fourth voice role in 2020 alone, along with his reprisal of Cooper in Trolls World Tour.
