It may be hard to reconcile the two roles, but the child actor who voiced young Nemo, Alexander Gould, now plays the slightly sociopathic middle son, Shane Botwin, on the Showtime comedy Weeds, which ends its eight-season, 101-episode run Sunday.
And in a second odd connection, Albert Brooks, who voiced Nemo's dad, played Shane's grandfather in four episodes of the show.
"I didn't meet him during the recording" of Finding Nemo, Gould, 18, says. "We met a couple of times briefly when we were doing press for the movie. I didn't think I'd meet him again, and then a few years later he was on Weeds with me."
Brooks remembered the small fry, says Gould, who's been an actor since he was two. "It's neat to see what a small world the whole industry is at that level and to work with such great actors multiple times," he says, sounding like the practised veteran he is.
Now that Weeds is done, next for Gould is a vacation in Israel and, at some point, he says: "I'm probably heading off to college."
