My latest role, funny enough, was some talking chicken McNuggets for an animated McDonalds commercial for their Snack Wraps. I was originally cast as the voice of a basketball Coach that sounded a lot like Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The funny thing was they used the original auditions for the temp animation and got their notes confused. As a result, they didn’t realize when they made their final casting decisions that they had also cast me as the Snack Wrap which was a hip teen.
