George Carlin voices Fillmore in the English version of Pixar's Cars.
Fillmore is Radiator Springs' peace-loving Volkswagen Type 2 microbus and the town's advocate for organic fuel. His name and personality reflect the counterculture associations often connected with Volkswagen vans, while his neighbor Sarge represents a much more disciplined, military-minded outlook.
Carlin was a celebrated American comedian and actor whose work included stand-up specials, television, film, and voice acting. His performance gives Fillmore a relaxed, philosophical style that contrasts with Sarge's strict practicality.
Fillmore is sometimes confused with other Radiator Springs residents. Ramone is the town's lowrider paint artist, Luigi operates the tire shop, and Sarge runs a surplus store. George Carlin died in 2008, making Cars one of the notable animated feature roles associated with his later career.
