Patrick Warburton Made a Surprise Appearance on ‘The Bachelorette’ — As Zach Shallcross’ Real-Life Uncle
promo for Monday night’s episode, which saw star Rachel Recchia join the final four (including Shallcross) for hometown dates. In the clip, Warburton says, “I just feel sorry for those other fellas” — in his signature deep drawl that he lent to Kronk in “The Emperor’s New Groove.”As the video made the rounds on social media, Warburton cheekily tweeted, “I’m being asked ‘why are you on The Batchelorette ?’ [sic] It’s my favorite show? I’m addicted..? I have a crush on that Zach Shallcross fellow? Or…all of the above? Or…Zach is my nephew? Or…all of the above?”Warburton, who is the brother of Shallcross’ mother Megan, is also known for lending his voice to “Family Guy,” “Bee Movie” and “Kim Possible.” He’s also been in “Men in Black II,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “A Series of Unfortunate Events” (the TV show) and “Rules of Engagement.”For his part, Shallcross has not kept the relationship hidden: He most recently posted about the family’s Warburton Celebrity Golf Tournament held in Palm Desert, Calif.
