The same guys who brought us the Ice Age franchise are back to create another potential hit with the 3-D CGI Despicable Me.

Thanks to smaller roles that he's had, including his creepy character on Six Feet Under, I've had faith that Wilson is not a one-note actor, and that he possesses the tools to take part in a variety of genres. So, I was looking forward to his first time out as a comedic lead in The Rocker.
