Bird also provides the voice of costume designer Edna Mode. As an inside joke, the character Syndrome was based on Bird's likeness (as was Mr. Incredible) and according to him, he did not realize the joke until the movie was too far into production to have it changed.

Phillip Bradley "Brad" Bird (born September 15, 1957) is an American director, voice actor, animator and screenwriter. He is best known for writing and directing Disney/Pixar's The Incredibles (2004) and Ratatouille (2007).

Bird is finally making his sci-fi/noir passion project “Ray Gunn,” and Moore (who departed Disney for Sony before landing at Skydance) is developing an untitled “Jack and the Beanstalk” project (not to be confused with Disney's shelved “Gigantic”).

Bird shared that his sister, Susan, had been killed by gun violence at the hands of her own husband. “When you shoot somebody,” Bird solemnly reflected, “you're not just killing that person. You're killing a part of all the people that love that person.”
