Fred (Big Hero 6)

"The Name's Fred; school mascot, by day, but by night... I'm also a school mascot."

- Fred.

Fred (voiced by T. J. Miller) is a major character from the upcoming 2014 Disney animated feature film Big Hero 6.

Character info
Fanboy Fred comes off like a laid-back dude with no direction. But this sign-twirling, monster-loving, comic-book aficionado is sure to go places—when he’s good and ready. For example, Fred doesn’t hesitate to join “Big Hero 6,” and he has a lot of ideas for his super-hero skillset, too. His ferocious, fire-breathing alter ego comes complete with claws, integrated communications and a super bounce. But his sign-spinning may still come in handy.

Press info
Miller, a scholar of storytelling and comedy, melds humor and nerdiness for Fred, a big sci-fi and comic-book geek, Hall says. Fred's really into monster movies, and he inhabits a huge, tentacled "Fredzilla" creature suit — piloted from one of its three eyes — that's designed to be an homage to Godzilla and other Japanese kaiju movies of old. It can do some amazing things, too, Hall says. "He can jump really high, and he breathes wicked fire out of that mouth."

Trivia

 * The kanji on Fred's shirt (怪獣) reads "Kaiju", which (to some people) means: "monster;" but can also mean: "strange beast" or "giant beast" in Japanese. Kaiju is also a popular term for the Japanese movie monster genre, a notable example being Godzilla.
 * In the original comic series, his superhero alter ego is Fredzilla, however it is currently unknown if this will be the name of his alter ego in the film given the other characters appear to be going by their alter ego codenames.
 * If this is the case, he will be the only member of Big Hero 6 who has a codename.
 * He is 6'0" in height.
 * He only changes his underwear once every few months and turns them inside out.
 * Fred's father bears a likeness and his voiced by Stan Lee the creator of Marvel Comics.
