Which actor voices Vector in the first Despicable Me film?

Jason Segel voices Vector in the first Despicable Me film.

Vector, whose real name is Victor Perkins, is Gru’s rival in Despicable Me. He steals the Great Pyramid of Giza and places it in his own lair, prompting Gru to pursue an even more ambitious plan involving the Moon. Vector’s orange tracksuit, oversized glasses, and use of gadgets make him one of the film’s most recognizable opponents.

Jason Segel, an American actor and comedian, supplies Vector’s voice. The performance emphasizes the character’s boastful confidence and immature humor, making Vector a comic counterpart to Gru rather than a purely serious threat.

Vector is sometimes confused with Gru because both are central villains in the first film. Gru is voiced by Steve Carell, while Dr. Nefario is voiced by Russell Brand. Vector’s real name, Victor Perkins, is a separate fact from the actor who voices him.
