Don Rickles | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Don Rickles will be making a posthumous appearance in Toy Story 4.

The late comedian, who died in 2017 at the age of 90, will still voice the iconic Mr. Potato Head in the upcoming sequel, director Josh Cooley confirmed with Entertainment Weekly.

If you didn’t know, Don voiced the character in all of the previous three movies, including the 1995 original.

“Of course we loved Don obviously, and after he passed, his family contacted us and asked if there was any way that we could create a performance using the recordings that we had. Now, he signed to be in Toy Story 4. Unfortunately we did not get a chance to record him for the film,” the director said.

“But we went through, jeez, 25 years of everything we didn’t use for Toy Story 1, 2, 3, the theme parks, the ice capades, the video games — everything that he’s recorded for Mr. Potato Head. And we were able to do that. And so I’m very honored that they asked us to do that, and I’m very honored that he’s in the film. Nobody can replace him.”

Toy Story 4 is set to hit theaters on June 21.

There is now more information about the recent passing of legendary comedian Don Rickles.

According to TMZ, the 90-year-old comedian’s death certificate lists end-stage renal disease as his official cause of death.

The disease was reportedly detected in the last couple months of his life. Don also suffered from hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

Don passed away at his home in Los Angeles last week and has since been remembered by many of his famous friends.

Our thoughts continue to be with Don‘s family and friends during this difficult time.

Adam Sandler, along with tons of other celebs, is paying his respects to the late Don Rickles.

While making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his new original Netflix movie Sandy Wexler on Thursday evening (April 6) in Los Angeles, the 50-year-old entertainer reminisced about some of his time with Don in honor of the legendary comedian’s death that same day at age 90.

Jimmy, who also presented a montage of some of Don‘s greatest moments on his show, began by remembering an occasion when Adam and Don were on the show together.

Don, known for being an insult comic, shouted, “let’s take up a collection and buy Adam a suit.” On another occasion, Adam was having dinner with Steve Buscemi just after the release of Reservoir Dogs and Don happened to be there. The comic threw a barb at Buscemi, joking, “I saw your movie, Mr. Pink, more like Mr. Stink.” And then he turned his attention to Adam, quipping, ‘I saw Happy Gilmore, it’s amazing how no talent can get you a movie.’”

But we lost someone that we and I love very much today.”
