16 Perfect Superhero TV Show Casting Choices That Nailed Their Characters
2. Patrick Warburton - The Tick (The Tick)
The Tick is just a marvellous creation. Born and bred in the North Eastern United States from creator Ben Edlund, The Tick became an excellent genre parody of superhero comic books, with The Tick's naive yet golden heart proving to be a hit with fans and critics alike. He gained particular fame in an animated show that came about in the '90s and, later, a live action series soon followed.
Directed by Men in Black veteran Barry Sonnenfield, The Tick was yet another superhero show that was cancelled before its time. It embodied the warmth and satirical approach Edlund's comic had first made its name on, and had an incredible cast to boot. (hey, any show that can get Ron Perlman in a starring role you know has to be good)
But it is Patrick Warburton who really steals the show as the eponymous spooner of evil, taking that same naive do-gooder attitude and supplementing it with a much needed element of physicality. It's definitely a show (and comic!) you need to watch out for in the future.
