In Pixar's Cars, who voiced Doc Hudson in the English-language version?

In Pixar's Cars, Paul Newman voiced Doc Hudson in the English-language version.

Newman supplied the voice of the retired Fabulous Hudson Hornet, giving Doc a calm, reflective quality that contrasts with Lightning McQueen's youthful impatience. The role was especially notable because Newman was a major film actor and also had a long association with motor racing.

Newman competed as a race-car driver and co-owned racing teams, making his connection to Doc unusually appropriate. His performance helped ground the film's fictional world in the culture and history of American automobile racing. Doc's story about being pushed aside after a crash also gains extra resonance from Newman's understanding of competition.

The voice credit is sometimes confused with the real racing driver connected to the character's model. Doc is inspired by the Hudson Hornet, and Richard Petty voices The King, but Paul Newman is the English voice of Doc Hudson.
