We've seen him in the backgrounds, appearing randomly in most scenes in public areas. I know he's just like an extra character, just another citizen of Swallow Falls, but his appearances and actions seem to make the movie a bit better (for example: the "Sardine Land" scene, where he is the only one in the Splash Zone) And, to me, I feel like he actually a character that matters. I have no clue what his name is, but if anyone does, tell me! For now he shall be called Lumberjack Bob. EDIT: Cody informed me that his name is Joe Towne! Cute name there, it totally fits him xD Little collage I put together of him!

Lumberjack Bob? ? HIS REAL NAME IS JOE TOWNE. According to the directors, he's the "voice of the town", which is why he's in so many scenes, and hence his name as well. He IS kinda cool -Cody The Maverick

He's also voiced by Will Forte, a friend of theirs, who also voiced Ghandi in their earlier series "Clone High."

The "voice of the town" totally adds to the film. Hilarious!

XD. Of course, since Will Forte is voicing a different character in the sequel, we may not see Joe Towne again. Shame, but at least the voice actor isn't leaving(like someone I could name. >.>). :/

Actually, he is in the second movie. While watching the making-of video for the Movietickets.com ad, I noticed this: He must have taken a job as a bus driver when the people of Swallow Falls re-located to California. But like smf said, Will Forte is voicing a different character, so he probably won't have any speaking roles.

Yeah, me neither. I wonder if he will play a less prominent role, or if he is the real bad guy behind all of it. Like Mayor Shelbourne was just his puppet, and Towne is the mastermind.
*dun dun dunnnnn*

XD I read a fanfic once, where Joe Towne was a bad guy. He was controlled(?) by Shelbourne though. Also, he died in that fanfic.

OH!!! That fanfic is called: All is not forgotten; by RainingSunshineEverywhere, it's in fanfiction.net He is not exactly controlled, it was a liquid, and that may change your mind, turning evil
