Fred appears in Disney's Big Hero 6 franchise, voiced by T. J. Miller in the film and by Brooks Wheelan in Big Hero 6: The Series.[9][10][11] This version is an American human who wields a dragon-themed fire-breathing suit and finances the Big Hero 6 team via his family's wealth. Speaking of Miller, co-director Chris Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected."[10][12][13][14][15][7]
