Patrick Warburton has landed a role inTed, theSeth MacFarlane-directed Universal Pictures/Media Rights Capital comedy that starsMark Wahlberg as a man who wishes his teddy bear to life and then uses the talking slacker toy to get in the way of committing to his long-suffering girlfriend (played byMila Kunis). Warburton will play Guy, the sexually confused co-worker of John (Wahlberg) at the Enterprise Rent-A-Car front office. But the fix was in on this one. I have read the script, and when Guy is first introduced, the character is described as  “a burly Patrick Warburton type.” So it’s possible that MacFarlane knew all along he’d be casting Warburton, who has long been part of theFamily Guy voice cast along with MacFarlane and Kunis.Giovanni Ribisi andJoel McHale are also in the film, and MacFarlane portrays the walking, talking teddy bear. Warburton, who stars on the CBS sitcomRules of Engagement, is also part of the upcoming Weinstein Co. filmHoodwinked Too! Hood Vs. Evil. He’s repped by ICM and Gallant Management.
