Who is Dez?
Dez is a minor yet memorable character in Pixar’s animated film Soul. He is Joe Gardner’s friendly barber, who offers wisdom and perspective during a pivotal moment in the story.
Dez’s character plays an important role in Joe’s journey, as their conversation touches on dreams, ambitions, and life’s unexpected paths. In the scene, Joe (actually 22 in Joe’s body) learns about Dez’s life story and how he had once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian but found fulfillment in barbering instead. This moment is one of self-discovery for both Joe and 22, illustrating the film’s themes of purpose, passion, and appreciating the little things in life.
The character of Dez is voiced by actor Donnell Rawlings, known for his work in comedy and television. His performance brings warmth and relatability to Dez, making the barber a grounded and genuine figure in Joe’s life. Rawlings’ portrayal contributes to one of the film’s key messages: that people can find happiness and purpose in ways that might differ from their original dreams.
