A long-standing iconic, with Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story in 1995 Rickles established himself as a distinctive voice for an entire generation of moviegoers when he portrayed a wise-cracking version of the iconic Mr. Potato Head toy.
According to the report, it’s unknown how big of a role Mr. Potato Head was expected to play in Toy Story 4 but the movie could still include the character using prerecorded dialogue.
Rickles was slated to return as Mr. Potato Head for Toy Story 4.
A rep confirmed to THR on Saturday that Rickles had not yet been called in to record for Mr. Potato Head prior to his death on Thursday.
