“Really, the only thing that could be convincing is like a thick fan movement where people agree collectively that I could play that part,”
Seth Green has expressed his desire to join the cast of the upcoming live-action Dungeon Crawler Carl series, specifically for the role of Mordecai, according to Variety. The actor, known for Family Guy and Robot Chicken, is a longtime fan of the book series but says he doesn't want to use his personal connections to land the part.
Green made his interest public recently by posting fan art of the character Mordecai on Instagram, tagging author Matt Dinniman and producer Seth MacFarlane. In a new interview, he clarified this was his way of putting his name forward for consideration.
What is Seth Green's connection to the project?
Green is a friend of Seth MacFarlane, whose company Fuzzy Door is producing the series. He is also a fan of the source material. "My wife Clare [Grant] was reading [the latest book, ‘A Parade of Horribles’] in chapters before it even hit Patreon," Green told Variety. "So I’ve been aware of this thing for a very long time."
Despite these connections, Green wants to earn the role through fan support rather than backchannel requests. He hopes a groundswell of public opinion will convince producers he's right for the part. "Really, the only thing that could be convincing is like a thick fan movement where people agree collectively that I could play that part," he said.
What is the status of the series?
The Dungeon Crawler Carl television adaptation was ordered to series at Peacock last month. The show is being written by Chris Yost (The Mandalorian) and produced by author Matt Dinniman and Seth MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door. According to the report, no casting has been announced for the project yet.
Fans are hoping for more news about the adaptation when Dinniman appears at San Diego Comic-Con later this month.
