Gill is a Moorish Idol who's only dream is to escape from the tank. He had made several escape attempts, but the first time, he landed on dental tools, giving him severe scars on his right side, and destroying his right fin. His appearance is modeled after the voice actor who does his voice, especially the coloring around his mouth to show the deep wrinkles that Dafoe has on his face.

He is the leader of the fish living inside the dentist Philip Sherman's office fish tank called the Tank Gang.

Ultimately, Gill helps Nemo escape the office by jumping onto the dentist's mirror to catapult the clownfish into the air so that he lands onto a sink leading to a drain, which leads to the ocean. After Dr. Sherman puts Gill back into the tank, the Tank Gang congratulates him on finally succeeding in helping Nemo return to the ocean.

At the end of the film, Gill and the other Tank Gang members manage to escape from Dr. Sherman's office. Since Dr. Sherman's new AquaScum 2003 has broken, he has to take his fish out, put them in bags, and clean the tank himself, and while he complains to Barbara about the device breaking when it has a lifetime guarantee, Gill and the others make their way out of the office. They are seen having crossed the street and jumped into the ocean to their freedom.

Trivia

  • Gill's voice, as Dafoe said, is based on the character Earl Copen, whom he plays in the movie "Animal Factory."
  • His mannerisms are quite similar to Doc Hudson from Cars
  • He and Marlin may have encountered each other before, because shortly before catapulting Nemo into the sink, he tells Nemo to tell his father that Gill said "Hi".
