Career
Jordan's older brother Hunter originally auditioned for Russell in Up.[2] Director Pete Docter has said, "As soon as Jordan's voice came on we started smiling because he is appealing and innocent and cute and different from what I was initially thinking."[2] About four hundred children had shown up for the auditions, but Nagai stood out because he wouldn't stop talking the whole time.[1] Nevertheless, he was sometimes very shy, and Docter found it difficult getting him to recite all of his lines.[2] Nagai's character in Up is the first Asian American figure in a movie by Pixar.[1]
He also lent his voice to an episode of The Simpsons called "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?" as the voice of Charlie, an orphan who befriends Bart in his quest for a baby brother. The program aired on December 13, 2009.[3] Nagai has not acted in anything since; instead, opting to pursue a career in biology and healthcare management.[4]
Personal life
Nagai has studied judo since the age of 5, and in 2017, at the age of 17, he achieved a Black Belt.[5][6]
He attends Washington University in St. Louis and is in the Class of 2022.[7][4]
