The was even a Facebook campaign called “Consider Uggie” that was launched to gather support for his Oscar nomination. His performance was highly praised by both the public and critics, who considered Uggie to be on the same level as his human co-stars and promoted the idea of an Oscar for Best Non-Human actor.
The eleven year-old Jack Russell Terrier delighted everybody playing the role of the unconditionally loyal dog of George Valentin, a silent movie superstar who saw his career shattered by the beginning of the sound films era. Because of his talent, his ability to work, and the affection that the public had for him, we want to remember him at his best.ĭespite his long career as an actor in movies and commercials, Uggie was not acclaimed as a big star until his role in “The Artist”, the French silent movie that won an Oscar Academy Award in 2012.
At the paw print ceremony, the trainer had this to say.Uggie not only shined in all of his artistic work, but also transcended the screen and originated an unusual phenomenon in social networks. It was a cause championed by guardian Omar Von Muller. Uggie was also special in that he was a rescue dog. There, he became the first dog to ever leave his paw prints in concrete, something Lassie nor Benji never achieved in their careers (though, to be fair, they were played by a variety of other dogs over the years). Uggie retired in 2012 in a ceremony at the world famous Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Fix It, appearing opposite David Boreanaz and Scoot McNairy. Uggie also had starring roles in the 2011 drama Water for Elephants, where he appeared opposite Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz, as well as the 2006 movie Mr. Uggie shared scenes in The Artist with his brother Dash and another Jack Russell named Dude. The film went onto win an Academy Award for Best Picture, Lead Actor and Best Director in 2011. In The Artist, Uggie starred as the canine companion of Jean Dujardin's fading silent movie star.
