Albert Brooks joined the cast on 12 September to voice The Businessman, a villain. Thanks to Osborne's emotionally engaging pitch and the global popularity of Saint-Exup*ry's book, a group of A-list actors were able to be recruited to lend their voices to the film's characters. As Osborne explained, ``It began with Jeff Bridges. He was our first and only choice to play the Aviator, so after a great deal of time trying to get to him, I finally got the chance to go to his home in Santa Barbara to talk to him directly.
