Jane Lynch And Craig Robinson Video Interview On ‘Escape From Planet Earth’

Jane Lynch and Craig Robinson come together from different galaxies in the new animated movie, Escape From Planet Earth, directed by Cal Brunker, and answer fan questions exclusively in Uinterview’s video interview. Lynch saw just a bit of herself in Io, her rage-prone cyclops character. “She’s bigger than everyone,” Lynch deadpans to uInterview. “She doesn’t really fit everywhere, and I know that feeling very well.”

Born and raised in Dolton, Ill., Lynch appeared in Christopher Guest’s films Best In Show and A Mighty Wind, but first gained wide recognition for her role in Judd Apatow’s The 40 Year Old Virgin. She gained a huge following for her role in Glee as Sue Sylvester, the school’s bully to the students.

Robinson, who plays Doc, an oversized extraterrestrial in Planet Earth, is best known for his roles in The Office, Shrek Forever After and several television series such as Friends and Reno 911. Robinson, also born in Chicago, is recognized as a stand up comedian working with Jerry Minor as “L. Witherspoon & Chucky.”

Now, joining forces on their new film, Lynch and Robinson see Planet Earth as more than just a movie about aliens. “I think it’s a great message for kids, that even though these are aliens, we have the same wants and desires,” says Lynch, “and the need to go home!”https://youtu.be/lynB6HFo8H0
