EXCLUSIVE: Walton Goggins (The White Lotus), Ron Funches (Inside Out 2), Chris Parnell (Rick and Morty), and Shondrella Avery (Napoleon Dynamite) have joined Harry and the Mutant Mid-Century Furniture, a new animated feature from director, co-writer, and producer, Michael Skolnick (The Gilksmans).
Currently in production, the sci-fi comedy takes us back to 1962, in a world where radiation from atomic weapons testing has awakened an unlikely new species…mid-century furniture. Harry, a grieving 10-year-old boy, must join forces with a wise old recliner and a feisty ottoman to save their furniture friends from the destructive plans of a power-hungry Army General Frank Holtzman.
As previously announced, the cast will also include Stephanie Beatriz, Tim Meadows, Andy Richter, Matt Walsh, Seth Green, Pamela Adlon, Lou Ferrigno, and Clare Grant. Co-written and produced by Skolnick, Keegan Cotton, Jordan Lewandowski, and Seth Morton, the film was cast by Riley Hamilton (Saturday Morning All Star Hits!, The Eric Andre Show). Worldwide distribution rights are currently available.
Coming off of The Righteous Gemstones and a much discussed turn on The White Lotus — both series for HBO — Goggins currently stars as Cooper Howard aka The Ghoul in Prime Video’s Fallout and is repped by Darris Hatch Management and CAA.
An actor and comedian who’s worked on projects like Loot and Inside Out 2, Funches is repped by Truhett Management, CAA, and Cohen & Gardner.
