The Playboy Comedian: David Spade’s Unique Life

He Voiced a Classic Disney Cartoon

Besides Just Shoot Me, Spade worked with Wendie Malick more than once for Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove in 2000. Spade was the voice of the emperor-turned-llama Kuzco, and the animators drew inspiration from Spade’s look for that character when they saw him in the recording sessions.
