De naam Ken Jeong zal je weinig zeggen, maar deze grappig acteur kent iedereen uit The Hang Over films en de TV serie Community. Jeong heeft nu de eer gekregen om mee te doen met een Voice Pack voor Call of Duty: infinite Warfare die je nu voor 20 euro in de knakenbak kan vinden omdat deze titel extreem slecht en de rock bottom van de franchise is geworden. De website Coming Soon had een interview met deze kleine baas en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen.

ComingSoon.net: How did you get involved with the project? It's been Method Man, Snoop Dog and Ken Jeong!

Ken Jeong
: I know, I know! I asked myself the same question! It's so funny! To your point, I had heard about the word that Method Man and Snoop were doing it for Call of Duty and I got to see clips of that. I really love what they did with this and as an actor who does a lot of voiceover on animated projects like, I've done stuff on Despicable Me, and Bob's Burgers and all these other things. For me as an actor I was like, this is pretty sweet. What was so fun about this project was having a sense of humor. For the Call of Duty people to have a sense of humor about themselves - some of the games that I was introducing, not only were made allowable for improv for me to do my own thing, but it was also having a sense of even satire about some of the games. And that was even encouraged. It just shows how established Call of Duty is and how they're so dominant in their genre. They're so secure about themselves that it was ripe for parody. And to me, that was the most enjoyable aspect of all of this. You know, there were at times, when appropriate, a meta aspect to all of this, which was really unexpected. [laughs] Because there were some games, and these aren't the real games, but say there was a game called "Stop This." [In a deep movie trailer announcer voice] "Stop this! This is a game where you... stop... this!" They would allow me to do stuff like that. It was so much fun, everyone having a sense of humor about all this and I think that's kind of important in life.
