I looked at Alfred Molina’s wikipedia page, and lo and behold there has been a new addition. For his “popular” voice roles, him in DC Super Pets has been added.
I’d never have the guts to alter it and add Viggo… but I feel that’s a highlight that should definitely be included.
If anyone has the courage to go in and edit it, I and many others will be super proud of you.

there's a special kind of ableism (perhaps mixed with ageism) that comes from people who are older adults, who lived an largely abled life, who get like. personally offended by the idea that you, a young person, could DARE to also have a shitty body. like they view bad knees and fatigue as a badge of honor you get from living a long life & young disabled people don't deserve it? because we haven't suffered enough to... suffer? it's fucking bonkers. like yes ma'am I also make old person noises when getting up. i don't know why you feel like I'm taking something from you by being young and crippled.
