Comedian Jim Varney was replaced by Blake Clark in Toy Story 3. Jim Varney who was best known for his role in the funny comedic movies as Ernest was replaced as the voice of Slinky Dog in Toy Story 3 by Blake Clark.

Jim Varny passed away of lung cancer after the release of Toy Story 2. Blake Clark now lends his voice to the role of Slinky Dog for the latest installment of Toy Story with hits theaters on Friday.

Jim Varney will forever be remember as Ernest but his voice as slinky dog is iconic as the Toy Story movies are beloved by children and adults everywhere. Slinky dog, the lovable character who is one Woody's best friends is now being taken over by Blake Clark.

Blake Clark's name may not ring a bell but his face might. According to News By The People Clark has been featured in movies such as Road Trip, 50 First Dates, the Water Boy, and Grown Ups. Clark will also appear in the Son of Morning, Highland Park, and the Last Godfather. He was also featured in the tv series Boy Meets World.

Blake Clark's voice is simmilar to Jim Varney's. I think he'll make an excellent addition to the Toy Story 3 cast. The movie opens all over the country tomorrow.
