Who voiced Chick Hicks in Pixar's original Cars film?

Michael Keaton voiced Chick Hicks in Pixar's original Cars film.

Chick Hicks is Lightning McQueen's chief rival in the Piston Cup. He is a green race car bearing number 86 and is known for aggressive driving, boastful behavior, and a willingness to use dirty tactics to win. His rivalry with Lightning becomes especially important during the film's championship race.

Keaton's energetic performance gives Chick a fast-talking, competitive personality that contrasts with Doc Hudson's measured voice and Lightning's youthful confidence. Chick is not the story's only antagonist, but he represents the win-at-all-costs attitude that Lightning must outgrow.

The Piston Cup is a fictional racing championship created for the Cars universe. Its visual language and television presentation draw heavily from American stock-car racing, particularly NASCAR. Chick Hicks is sometimes confused with Jackson Storm, the newer rival introduced in Cars 3. Storm is voiced by Armie Hammer, while Chick's original voice is Michael Keaton.
