Chris Parnell is "the go-to voice for cats" in Love, Death & Robots

Actor and comedian Chris Parnell has lent his voice to the famed cat character in Love, Death & Robots. He has lent his voice to bring to life the animated cat characters in seasons 1 and 3 of the anthology series, and he returns once again in volume 4 to voice yet another feline. Director Patrick Osborne teased Parnell's return, calling him a go-to voice actor for cats in the series.

He said in a feature of the series in Netflix Tudum, teasing Parnell in episode 4, The Other Large Thing:

"Chris Parnell is the go-to voice for cats in Love, Death & Robots. This short could be seen as a distant prequel to The Three Robots from season 1 and 2. Though it technically is a different cat, it seemed perfect to bring Chris back to the role."

In The Other Large Thing, Chris Parnell voices the golden-haired house cat named Sanchez, aka Dingleberry Jones. He's a scheming cat who has one goal in his life, which is world domination. Sanchez teams up with a tech-savvy robotic butler to carry out his ambitious undertaking.

Parnell is known for his work in front of and behind the camera. He starred in Grown-ish, Anchorman 2, and 30 Rock. However, his filmography consists mainly of voice acting roles. He voiced Mr. Peabody in The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show, various roles in Nature Cat, Archer, Rick and Morty, American Dad!, and more.
