KEVIN MCDONALD (Pleakley) provides the voice of this comical one-eyed, three-legged Earth enthusiast sent to capture Stitch and return him to his native planet. Best known as the wild-haired, hyperkinetic member of "The Kids in the Hall" Canadian comedy troupe and the character of Pastor Dave on "That ’70s Show," the actor gives a hilarious performance as this cultural contamination expert who learned all he knows about Earth from Viewmaster® images.
Disney Feature Animation President Thomas Schumacher notes, "We knew we wanted a voice that was comic and that could sound like an expert in absolutely nothing as well as someone who could feel spontaneous and really work with our process. We love actors who can play along. And Kevin McDonald really made the animation soar from the moment we picked him."
A native of Montreal, Quebec, McDonald got his earliest exposure to show business when his family moved to Los Angeles (when he was seven) and they lived across the street from the studio where "Let’s Make A Deal" was produced. McDonald was thus daily exposed to people lining his street in pickle costumes and the like, and the formative influence this must have had on the young comedy writer/actor cannot be underestimated.
While attending high school in Missisauga, Ontario, McDonald decided he wanted to be an actor. At age 19, he moved to Toronto and enrolled at Humber College, where he intended to read Drama but was eventually kicked out. A professor, however, saw his comic gifts and recommended him to Toronto’s Second City improv workshop, where he met fellow usher Dave Foley and began hanging out in various hallways.
McDonald and Foley teamed up with Second City alumnus Luciano Casimiri to form the embryonic version of comedy troupe "The Kids in the Hall," which first played in local clubs and later metamorphosed into a five-man team including McDonald, Foley, Scott Thompson, Bruce McCulloch and Mark McKinney. After a successful five-year run and a feature film, McDonald branched out into live-action features including "Galaxy Quest" and "The Ladies Man." He has also provided voices for animated characters, including The Almighty Tallest from "Invader Zim."
McDonald claims he has been personally rescued from a burning building by Charlton Heston. He is currently touring with "The Kids in the Hall" stage show.
A pay-per-view special will be released following the tour as well and he’s writing a Rock & Roll "mocumentary" and creating a TV show. McDonald currently lives in Los Angeles with his girlfriend Breanne Munro and their eight pets. No, he’s not crazy; he rescued them.
