Verne is the deuteragonist in the DreamWorks film, Over the Hedge. He is the leader of the foragers and a "naturally tentative" box turtle.

Garry Shandling as Verne, a cynical and timid ornate box turtle who is the leader of the foragers. He has his own ways of doing their daily tasks, but his world is turned upside-down when RJ introduces his free-spirited lifestyle into the mix. Though Verne genuinely cares for his family, he sometimes comes off as condescending.

Verne is the deuteragonist of the Over the Hedge franchise, serving as the deuteragonist of Over the Hedge, and a minor character of Hammy's Boomerang Adventure. He is a wise, paranoid, and short-tempered box turtle who is the former leader-turned-current second-in-command of a group of forest animals, and R.J. & Hammy 's best friend.

The voice acting is all top-notch, from Willis' take no-nonsense raccoon, to the sadly missed Shandling as a neurotic turtle. Steve Carrell also stands out as the absolutely insane Hammy the squirrel, as does William Shatner as Ozzie the possum.
