For those not familiar with the Dr. Seuss story Horton Hears a Who, it takes place in two parallel worlds. There is the Jungle of Nool where elephant Horton lives. Then there is Whoville, which exists inside a speck of dust which lands. That is when Horton hears the Who.
The animated film of the story portrays both worlds, and Dan Fogler is one actor lucky enough to have dual roles. “One of them is Yummo who is like the leader of the gorillas who’s a bad guy,” said Fogler. “He’s constantly bullying Horton throughout the whole thing.”
Inside the world of Whoville, Fogler is still making trouble. “On the other hand, in this microscopic universe living in a dust particle on the tulip, in that world I am Councilman Chairman, and I’m also the villain in that world. Basically [saying], ‘Everything’s wonderful, nothing is wrong. Why would you think anything’s wrong?'”
