Jason Lee, star of NBC’s My Name Is Earl, will voice the title character in the live-action movie adaptation of Underdog for Spyglass Entertainment and Walt Disney Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Underdog followed the adventures of a humble dog named Shoeshine Boy who became the superheroic Underdog, who spoke in rhyme. In the movie, he is adopted by a 12-year-old boy and uses his superpower to protect his love, Polly Purebred, and the citizens of Capitol City from the evil Simon Barsinister.
