Cast Announcement for Big Hero 6

July 15, 2014 , , ,

We wanted to make sure we put this announcement out.  It did come out yesterday, but due to our site having to move to a larger server we were unable to announce it then, so in case you didn’t see the Big Hero 6 cast was announced.

The Big Hero 6 cast was just announced, and we seriously love this development. The cast features some of our favorite comedians from 30 Rock, Silicon Valley, and New Girl, on top of even more actors we love. Big Hero 6 (inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name) is an action-packed comedy about robotics prodigy Hiro, who learns to use his genius for good, thanks to his brilliant brother Tadashi and his friends: adrenaline junkie Go Go Tomago, neatnik Wasabi, chemistry whiz Honey Lemon, and fanboy Fred. When a tragic event puts them right in the middle of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of San Fransokyo, Hiro turns to Baymax, his closest companion, and turns the group into a band of techie heroes determined to save the day.

Find out the famous voices behind the heroes of Big Hero 6! (Not pictured in the slideshow are Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass, James Cromwell as Professor Callaghan, Alan Tudyk as Alistair Krei, and Daniel Henney as Tadashi Hamada.)

Hiro Hamada (Voiced by Ryan Potter)
Hiro Hamada (Voiced by Ryan Potter) Robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada has the mind of a genius—and the heart of a 14-year-old: his state-of-the-art battle-bots dominate the underground bot fights held in the dark corners of San Fransokyo. Fortunately, big brother Tadashi redirects Hiro’s brilliance, inspiring him to put his brain to the test in a quest to gain admission to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. When a tragic event changes everything, Hiro turns to a robot named Baymax, and they form an unbreakable bond—and two-sixths of a band of high-tech heroes on a very important mission.
Baymax (Voiced by Scott Adsit)
Baymax (Voiced by Scott Adsit) Baymax cares. That’s what he was designed to do. The plus-sized inflatable robot’s job title is technically Healthcare Companion: With a simple scan, Baymax can detect vital stats, and, given a patient’s level of pain, can treat nearly any ailment. Conceived and built by Tadashi Hamada, Baymax just might revolutionize the healthcare industry. But to the inventor’s kid brother Hiro, the nurturing, guileless bot turns out to be more than what he was built for—he’s a hero, and quite possibly Hiro’s closest friend. And after some deft reprogramming that includes a rocket fist, super strength and rocket thrusters that allow him to fly, Baymax becomes one of the Big Hero 6.

Fred (Voiced by T.J. Miller) Fanboy Fred comes off like a laid-back dude with no direction. But this sign-twirling, monster-loving, comic-book aficionado is sure to go places—when he’s good and ready. For example, Fred doesn’t hesitate to join “Big Hero 6,” and he has a lot of ideas for his super-hero skillset, too. His ferocious, fire-breathing alter ego comes complete with claws, integrated communications and a super bounce. But his sign-spinning may still come in handy.

Go Go Tomago (Voiced by Jamie Chung) Aptly named Go Go Tomago knows what it takes to be fast. She’s tough, athletic and loyal to the bone, but not much of a conversationalist. Popping bubble gum and delivering well-placed sarcasm are totally her speed. The daredevil adrenaline junkie is at her best on wheels, and when Go Go joins forces with Big Hero 6, she rolls like never before, using maglev discs as wheels, shields and throwing weapons.
Wasabi (Voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.)
Wasabi (Voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.) Wasabi is committed to precision. He’s super smart and just a touch neurotic, but the big and burly neatnik can’t help but join the cause when Hiro needs him most. As part of “Big Hero 6,” Wasabi amplifies his martial arts skills with jaw-dropping plasma blade weaponry. Sharp doesn’t even begin to describe this guy.
Honey Lemon (Voiced by Genesis Rodriguez)
Honey Lemon (Voiced by Genesis Rodriguez) It’s elemental when it comes to chemistry whiz HONEY LEMON. Don’t let her glasses and funky fashion fool you: Honey may be as sweet as her namesake, but she has a fire in her belly and a can-do attitude that make her pretty much unstoppable. Her knowledge of alchemy proves powerful, too, when the effusive brainiac becomes part of the Big Hero 6 and creates clever concoctions that when thrown, can get her team out of nearly any jam.
