Ben Stiller, on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', revealed that he invited Barack Obama to voice a character in 'Severance,' the Apple TV+ drama he produces. Obama responded positively, saying he is a fan of the show but couldn't fit it into his schedule. The series, which stars Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, follows the employees of a mysterious biotech company. Obama’s involvement would have brought a notable warmth to the character, aligning with the show's intentions, according to its creator, Dan Erickson.
There was one person that I asked before [Keanu Reeves], and he said no: President Barack Obama.
Hey Ben, big fan of the show, love Season 1, can't wait for Season 2. Don't think I have time in my schedule to make this happen.
We always wanted it to be somebody that people have certain associations with, but also, it had to be a very warm presence.
