Jordan Nagai

Jordan Nagai is a former child voice actor best known for his voice role as Russell in Up.

Jordan's older brother Hunter originally auditioned for Russell in Up. Director Pete Docter has said, "as soon as Jordan's voice came on we started smiling because he is appealing and innocent and cute and different from what I was initially thinking". About 400 children had shown up for the auditions, but Nagai stood out because he wouldn't stop talking the whole time. Nevertheless, he was sometimes very shy and Docter found it difficult getting him to say all of his lines.
