## Fi1m on Patton Oswalt

> Patton Oswalt makes talkative obsessives engaging, with a voice built for enthusiasm and sarcasm. We rate him most when the comedy allows some melancholy, though familiar nerd roles can ask too little of him.

In *Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire* (2024), Patton Oswalt turns up as Dr. Hubert Wartzki for one scene in a library. We enjoyed that brief visit, because it gives us a comic pleasure amid a family story repeatedly interrupted by the old team. Gil Kenan's film has other welcome comic turns from James Acaster and Kumail Nanjiani, but we cannot recommend it on those pleasures alone. Oswalt is useful to have around, though a small part puts a firm limit on what he can repair.

The familiar Oswalt character knows a great deal about something and is willing to keep talking about it. His stand-up's rapid monologues about comics and films help explain the casting, and also its limitations: another nerd role can give him too little to do. Spence Olchin in *The King of Queens* (1998–2007) established his television presence, before Remy in *Ratatouille* (2007) made his voice work more prominent. Animation suits a performer who can convey both eagerness and sarcasm so clearly in his voice.

There is more to him in *Young Adult* (2011), as Matt Freehauf. The supporting part draws on his ability to be funny without losing the melancholy or intensity underneath. He has worked twice with director Jason Reitman; that association is worth remembering alongside the more familiar television and animation work. We would welcome more parts that make use of this less comfortable side of his acting.

He voices Strappy in *Buddy* (2026), Casper Kelly's murderous-unicorn comedy, which finds amusement in its affection for children's television. The setting and voice work are its attractions, while the loose storytelling keeps our enthusiasm in check. It is worth a look for the curious, but there is no need to treat every supporting credit as an essential stop. For a fuller introduction, pair *Ratatouille* with *Young Adult* before working through the guest appearances.

## Biography

Patton Oswalt is an American actor and stand-up comedian. He began performing stand-up comedy in the late 1980s, later writing for two seasons on MADtv and making his film debut in Down Periscope (1996). He gained prominence with a regular role as Spence Olchin in the sitcom The King of Queens (1998–2007).

Oswalt has appeared in numerous films and television series, often in comedic roles, and provided voice work for animated projects. Notable credits include voicing Remy in Ratatouille (2007), appearances in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) and 22 Jump Street (2014), and the role of Dr. Hubert Wartzki in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024). He has also featured in series such as The Simpsons and Rick and Morty.
