Digit

Digit is the secondary antagonist in An American Tail. He is voiced by Will Ryan.

Personality
Digit the cockroach serves as Warren's accountant, calculating Warren's daily profits. He suffers from random charges of electricity from his antennae and hiccups. Though he may seem good-natured for the most part, selling Fievel to Moe's Sweatshop was actually his idea. He is, however, very unhappy with his working conditions. He dislikes Warren's chain-smoking habit, his violin playing and his misquotations of Shakespeare. In fact, he corrects Warren at one point, implying that he probably knows Shakespeare better than Warren does. On the other hand, Digit is also very afraid of Warren, and is kept under control by Warren's threats to eat him. Digit loves to count and even suggests learning to calculate in Chinese when it is evident that the Mott Street Maulers are going to Hong Kong.

Quote
"I don't know which is worse- the music or the Shakespeare."
