‘Shrek 3’ Character Has Philbin Feeling Feminine
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)- Regis Philbin’s part in the animated blockbuster sequel “Shrek 3” may not be very big, but it’s certainly the television personality as you’ve never heard him before.
Philbin revealed on Tuesday (Aug. 2) that he’s voicing a woman named Mabel in the DreamWorks CG-comedy already slated for a May 18, 2007 release.
Fans of “Live With Regis and Kelly” heard about the Philbin cameo on the same day the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” host was set to record his dialogue, which is apparently limited to only two lines.
There’s some precedent for distinctively voiced talk show hosts playing women in the “Shrek” universe. Larry King was Doris in “Shrek 2” and is rumored to be returning for the third film.
Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas will all be back in “Shrek 3,” along with new voice Justin Timberlake, who plays the rebellious, a prince who bears a strong resemblance to King Arthur.
