Dude Allen is my favorite character, he has such great vibes, aside from being buffed AF

It’s really hard to hate Seth Rogan in a role like this.

People said for years that he's a terrible actor who only plays himself, and idk how I feel about that but I do think he's at his best when he's voice acting.

He's got a unique voice and you'll always know it's Seth Rogen but it works so well in animation. In live action he can be a bit much.

It's like that with Jason Mantzoukas in some ways too. He's very divisive as an actor in live action stuff, but he shines so purely in the voice acting space. His voice is super distinct, but he's able to really throw down on the dramatic side without people seeing his appearance and going "oh, that's Derek from The Good Place!"

The downside of being both very distinct looking (handsome tbh) and very distinct vocally is that when you're both it can be hard to break out of typecasting in physical roles. Love seeing him play Rex so far.

I think it's an aspect of animation. Characters who are typecast aren't just in attitude and voice, but in mannerisms and body language. With animation, you can break away from that JUST ENOUGH to make it a different enough character while keeping what they do that works well.

Jason almost always bothers me in everything he’s in, and damn he’s in everything, but Rex hasn’t been bad. Except when Kate died last episode the “oh god no 😐” was trash

Jason Mantzoukas

He was fantastic in his small part in Legion, especially the rap battle with Jemaine Clement's character.

I agree I think his voice is perfect for VA. He was entertaining I suppose in The League but god I couldn't stand him in that role.

He’s pretty great as Mr. D/Dionysus in the new Percy Jackson show.
