Comedic Actor Will Sasso Talks About His Role in the Animated Feature 'Henchmen'

My second favorite Italian-Canadian, comedic actor Will Sasso tackles the roles of villain Gluttonator and Union Boss in the new animated film, Henchmen,  that also stars Thomas Middleditch, James Marsden, Rosario Dawson, Alfred Molina,Nathan Fillion, Rob Riggle, Jane Krakowski, Craig Robinson and Bobcat Goldthwait.

I likened Henchmen to a blend of Big Hero 6 meets Megamind and Sasso's unique character voices, especially with the Gluttonator enhance the film watching experience. I mean, what's a greater villain someone weaponizing cheese? Talk about a nightmare for those of us that are lactose intolerant!

Official Film Synopsis:

In a world of super-villains, evil schemes and global domination, someone has to take out the trash. Welcome to the world of Henchmen, third class. When Lester (Middleditch), a fresh-faced recruit, joins the Union of Evil, he is assigned to a motley crew of blue-collar workers led by fallen henchmen Hank. But when Lester accidentally steals a super villain's ultimate weapon, Hank must break his risk-nothing code to save the boy he's befriended, even if it means becoming the one thing he has always avoided: a hero.

Sasso talks to us about the differences between live action acting and voice acting, what it's like being the son of immigrant parents, gives me a pass on being my second favorite Italian-Canadian once he finds out who edged him out, how he and I, who are both 6'3", bald, May born, Mediterranean men discuss the issues facing Kalani and Asuelu of 90 Day Fiancé fame and how he would like to one day dub one of his animated characters into Italian.

The incredibly funny and family friendly, Henchmen comes VOD on Friday, October 9, 2020.
