Chimpmunks Surround “Earl” Star
Friday, March 9th, 2007
“My Name is Earl” star and professional ex-skateboarder Jason Lee will soon be surrounded by canines and chipmunks. Lee has inked a deal to play the halpless human housemate to “Alvin and the Chipmunks” for a movie to be made by Fox Animation. The 36-year-old will play David Seville, the man that acts as the Chipmunks companion and chaperone and the one that usually is the butt of their practical jokes. The Chipmunks will be created using computer graphics. The movie gets into production later this month and will be released in time for Christmas.
Lee will next be heard, not seen, as the title role in “Underdog“. He is providing the voice to the cartoon canine crimefighter. Look for it in theaters this August.
