Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet Speak for Rival Dogs in "The Secret Life of Pets"

Primetime Emmy Award-winners Louis C.K. (“Louie,” “Parks & Recreation”) and Eric Stonestreet (“Modern Family”) lend their voices to lead characters Max and Duke, in Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures' “The Secret Life of Pets.”

In the film, Max (C.K.), a quick-witted Terrier rescue who’s convinced he sits at the center of owner Katie’s universe, finds his pampered life turned upside down when she brings home Duke (Stonestreet), a sloppy, massive mess of a mongrel with zero interpersonal skills. When this reluctant canine duo finds themselves out on the mean streets of New York, they have to set aside their differences and unite against a fluffy, yet cunning, bunny named Snowball (Kevin Hart), who’s building an army of pets who’ve been abandoned by their owners and are out to turn the tables on humanity…all this and making it home before Katie returns at dinnertime.
