If 'Puss in Boots' Co-Star Amy Sedaris Calls for a 'Safety Meeting' You Should Probably Hide the Kids

Amy Sedaris is best known for her role as clueless Jerri Blank on Comedy Central's 'Strangers With Candy,' but she's also lent her voice to a lot of animated characters, including Cinderella in 'Shrek the Third' and the nefarious Jill in 'Puss in Boots.' Sedaris talked to Moviefone about how Jack's other half stacks up against other cartoon villainesses, who's likely to dress up as Jill for Halloween, why she had to end her cupcake business, and what going to a 'safety meeting' actually means. You've voiced a lot of fairy tale characters. Yeah, I've done a few. Foxy Loxy in 'Chicken Little'... Oh, that's right, I forgot about that one. And Cinderella in 'Shrek the Third.' Of course. And The Tooth Fairy in 'Yo Gabba Gabba.' So what's different about voicing Jill? Well, I love doing Southern accents, and it was fun to have a husband, even thought he was animated. And it's fun to be part of a franchise. I'm a big fan of 'Puss in Boots,' it's a really cute movie. Is it more fun playing a villain? Oh yeah, that's always great. Those are always the best parts to have, being the villain. They're the most fun. Billy Bob Thornton said he met you for the first time the other day while you were doing TV interviews, how do you think he did on his first big voiceover job? He's terrific and I had a feeling we'd get along because he's from the South. And he was a little nervous about doing something like this, but I love him in the movie, I think he's great. What does it take to be a good voiceover actor? Just being able to follow direction, being able to surrender and trust the director's vision and do what he asks. And being able to take a note. So not so much with the improv? Well, it's already on the page. Sometimes they encourage you to improvise and some people don't. But I prefer to improvise because that's my background but I think everything that's in the movie was on the page. Where does Jill rank in the pantheon of animated villainesses? She can kick some ass. I think she's up there. She just doesn't have a traditional look, you know. She's built like a refrigerator box. So could she take on Maleficent and the Evil Queen in Snow White? They're all so good. I think they would get along. You can't touch that Queen from Snow White. That was one of my favorite movies. When you saw the movie, you were hearing all the other voices for the first time? Yeah, I love Zach [Galifianakis]'s voice [as Humpty Dumpty], so sweet wasn't it? And I love anything with an accent, so I love Antonio. What do you think moviegoers will enjoy the most? Just that it's a really fun character and I think the music is great. Everyone I've talked to really, really enjoyed it. I'm just happy he got a spin-off. He's super nice, Antonio. I met him today for the first time. Do you think Jack and Jill might get a spin-off? I don't know. I don't know, but beware! Or maybe Halloween costumes? I'm too old to dress up. I'm going as myself this year, a hobo. But do you see people dressing up as Jill? You've got to be a big person. Maybe a transvestite will dress up as Jill. So who would dress up as Jack? A big transvestite. And then bring your cat and you're good to go? Yeah, just add some boots. In the movie, Puss has a catchphrase, "Holy frijoles!" Do you have a personal catchphrase? Holy, frijoles, what's my catchphrase? "Time for a safety meeting!" When you say that, it's code that it's time for a pot break. And when do you say that? About once an hour. Is there a story behind it? It just means it's time to get together to smoke it up. I was reading that you run a cupcake and cheeseball business on the side. That was a long, long time ago. I don't do that anymore. What made you hang that up? Because cupcakes became really popular, everybody was doing it. And the price of butter became really high. I liked doing it because it felt like allowance movie but it felt like it was time to stop. So is the cupcake trend over now? I don't know. I don't pay much attention to it. I was also reading that you started your voiceover career at a Winn-Dixie. Yes, I did. [Laughs] They had to take the microphone away from me at some point. The minute I saw my manager leave the store, I would get on there and make stuff up all the time.

Man Up!

Credits: Filmed in Los Angeles by Bicycle Path Prods. and Tagline Television in association with ABC Studios. Executive producers, Christopher Moynihan, Victor Fresco, Ron West, Kelly Kulchak; producer, Marc Solakian; director, Beth McCarthy Miller; writer, Moynihan.With: Mather Zickel, Dan Fogler, Christopher Moynihan, Teri Polo, Amanda Detmer, Henry Simmons, Jake Johnson, Charlotte Labadie.Remember "Traffic Light," which was on Fox, like, last season? It was only the most recent kinda-funny casualty in the male-panic genre, in which suburban trios of guys expose their inner Peter Pans, mostly by playing videogames and whining. In that regard think of ABC's "Man Up!" -- paired with "Last Man Standing" in a thematically compatible if not particularly appealing block -- as "The Hangover: Part TV," exploring the tired question of whether modern times have produced an over-evolved generation of girly men. Alas, it'll take more than sociology to pump up this stale sitcom. Producer-writer Christopher Moynihan also co-stars as Craig, a member of the central group, who escape from their daily duties by playing a first-person shooter game as they chat to each other wearing headphones. The anchor is clearly Will (Mather Zickel), whose brother-in-law Kenny (Dan Fogler) is divorced and chafing at the fact his ex (Amanda Detmer) is dating the man of anybody's dreams ("NYPD Blue's" Henry Simmons). As always, Fogler plays a tightly wound ball of rage, potentially dragging Will into his madcap capers. Then again, Will spends a lot of his time wondering about whether he can measure up to the manliness of his father's generation. As such, Kenny's antics -- or in the premiere's case, Craig potentially triggering an ass-kicking by pissed-off groomsman after crashing his ex-girlfriend's wedding -- only provides an opportunity to test what he's truly made of. Finally, there's Will's beautiful/patient/much-smarter-than-he-is wife Theresa (Teri Polo), who may (at the risk of over-thinking things) bear less of a resemblance to her onscreen brother, Fogler, than any sibling pairing in modern TV history. Although some of the situations are relatable -- Will's anxiety about finding his 13-year-old son an appropriate gift, for one -- and others goofily arbitrary (Kenny's obsession with Tobey Maguire), it's presented in such a familiar single-camera manner it would be easy to mistakenly assume "Man Up!" is a rerun of recent sitcoms past. If there's a surprise here, it's Simmons' comic chops as the perfect physical specimen who has replaced Kenny, though making that a regular element -- as opposed to a gag for the pilot -- offers a sense of how broad "Man Up!" is going to be. As for the show's future, that almost entirely depends on Tim Allen's performance as its lead-in -- once again leaving these men, oddly, at the mercy of an earlier generation. Then again, even if Allen's show works, this companion half-hour is so thin there's still a chance ABC will wind up tossing "Man" overboard.Camera, Michael Trim; production designer, Ian Phillips; editor, Richard Candib; music, John Kimbrough; casting, Debby Romano, Brett Benner. 30 MIN.
