8 | Since 2010, Levi has provided the voice of Flynn Rider in Creator/{{Disney}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' franchise, starring opposite Music/MandyMoore's Literature/{{Rapunzel}}. One of the songs from the 2010 film, "I See the Light" (a duet between himself and Moore), was nominated for an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward in the Best Original Song category. He reprised the role in other ''Tangled''-related media, such as the 2012 short ''WesternAnimation/TangledEverAfter'', ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'', and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''; in fact, part of the reason why he accepted the role in the first place was because as a fan of the series, he wanted to be in a ''Kingdom Hearts'' game someday. |
