In 2021, Peacock announced a straight-to-series order forTed.
He is joined by a cast including Scott Grimes, Giorgia Whigham, Alanna Ubach, and more.
I didn’t get the chance to communicate with him about the role at all.
Because it is still a character that we all know and love.
But I did want to be very careful to not do a Mark Wahlberg impression.
Like, I didn’t want to do his voice, exactly.
You know, this is the same guy, but it’s a different period of his life.
He’s not nearly as confident.
He’s just as brash.
He’s just as stupid, but it’s a different stage in his life.
A lot of it’s in the script, in the writing, you know, in the situations.
As as far as the first episode goes, he’s not a stoner yet like.
His first time smoking weed has yet to come.
It’s a show about a lot of firsts.
That was pretty new.
And I didn’t really know what that was going to be like.
It ended up being fine.
You get used to it after a week or so.
It’s largely the same team.
And there’s still some bumps in the road every now and then.
But how involved was Seth MacFarlane (a.k.a.
the original voice of Ted) in the day-to-day operations of the production?
He directed every episode and was doing the voice of Ted live.
You know, the timing was there.
They can take it to this level that almost no one else can.
Definitely different vibes In terms of the content.
I would say the biggest similarity is how close everybody got over the course of shooting.
You know, ‘Parenthood, we were this massive family key in.
We’re a smaller family.
But we still all got very close.
We saw each other all the time offset, which was great.
But in terms of subject matter, it’s crazily different.
And also in terms of sort of how much was expected of me.
In terms of the size of the role.
And in this, it was a lot harder work, longer days, more days.
A lot more responsibility for sure.
Yeah, definitely, definitely cast my mind back to those nights.
It has my favorite joke in it, which is Ted doing the Milgram experiment joke.
Also, I got to throw eggs at people from a roof.
That was pretty dope.
But what surprised Max Burkholder the most while working on the new Peacock comedy?
It was a big step up in terms of like being a lead in a show.
After the first two or three days.
