Jeff Garlin voices only speaking character in WALL-E

During an interview with moviehole, Jeff Garlin had to the following to say:

Moviehole: And you play the Captain ….
Jeff: How do you know this!?
Moviehole: I tell you I …
Jeff: OK yes I play the Captain and it’s pretty much my own voice. And the character looks a lot like me. made it – in the movie I’m the only animated character that speaks.
Moviehole: Because a lot of the film is silent right?
Jeff: Yeah a lot of the film is silent and they’re robots so they make noises and such and there’s sound but I’m one of the only characters that speak – not one of them – I am the only animated character that speaks. There’s another character but I can’t talk about it. But I’m the only animated character that speaks. 

As previously announced, Wall-E will feature some sort of live-action mixed in to the animation. This is what Jeff probably means when he says he’s the only animated character that speaks.

Personally I am a bit nervous about this whole live-action thing but if anyone can pull if off well, (unlike Happy Feet) it’s Pixar.
