Steve Coogan

There’s nothing new or marvel about cute cuddly talking animals; they’ve been the center of animated feature films since the earliest days of animation. But in ‘The Secret Life of Pets,’ the age old shtick still works.

The character first appeared on BBC's radio and appeared in three TV shows: 'The Day Today' 'Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge' and 'I'm Alan Partridge.'
