EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND Star Brad Garrett Set To Voice 'Krang' In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2
It was previously reported that Fred Armisen would voice the villainous Krang in the upcoming TMNT sequel, however, due to scheduling conflicts, he's bowed out and been replaced by Brad Garrett!
Back in March, we learned that Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) was going to voice the villainous Krang in Paramount Pictures' upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Out Of The Shadows, however, it looks like that's no longer the plan.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that due to a scheduling conflict, Armisen was forced to bow out of the project and now, Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett will be the one to lend his voice to the classic Turtles villain. He's the latest newcomer to join the cast following Gary Anthony Williams as Bebop and Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly as Rocksteady.
The cast is headlined by Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek, Noel Fisher, and Jeremy Howard as the actors behind the four heroes in a half-shell with Danny Woodburn playing their mentor Splinter (& Tony Shalhoub providing his voice). The live-action supporting cast consists of Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Stephen Amell, William Fichtner, Brian Tee, Tyler Perry, Brittany Ishibashi, and Laura Linney.
The film screens for press this weekend, so expect the first reactions relatively soon.
