Matthew Lillard isn't happy with animation hiring big names over voice actors: "The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us"

Matthew Lillard as Mr. Charles in Daredevil: Born Again season 2.

Scream and Scooby-Doo actor Matthew Lillard has taken aim at Hollywood's tendency to populate animated movies with certain big-name actors who are "not able to carry a part" instead of voice actors.

"I think Hollywood has made a huge mistake by hiring actors that are not able to carry a part with [their] voice. As an actor, you have full function, your face, your body, you have all these things that you can play on when you're on the screen, but a voice actor has only their voice to work," Lillard said at Fan Expo Denver (via Screen Rant).
