John Leguizamo does the voice of Sid the terminally lazy sloth in the new animated movie "Ice Age." He said when he was first approached about doing the film, his reaction was that "somebody's taking drugs." However, he said after he read the part he "really liked the character, all the jokes and everything." To come up with Sid's voice, Leguizamo said he watched the Discovery Channel and learned that sloths stored food in their cheeks. "And I was like, 'Stored food in their cheeks, store food in their cheeks, cheeks!' And I called the director up, and I was like, look, you're talking to Sid, this is Sid the Sloth."
