Olson will voice CeCe Ryder, the unpredictable and highly skilled secret agent who barges into Elvis’ life when he joins TCB. As a product of the counterculture, she enjoys annoying Elvis but she’s still a headstrong, mission-focused agent.
Knoxville will voice Bobby Ray, Elvis’ not-so-smart best friend and sidekick. As Elvis’ one-man entourage, he’s fully devoted to his boss.
Nash plays Bertie, Elvis’ strong-willed mother figure who runs his day-to-day life and is the only one who can go challenge Elvis. Kenny plays Scatter, Elvis’ weaponized, chain-smoking, degenerate former NASA chimp with a trigger happy dark side.
Cheadle voices The Commander, The unknown spy master who runs the covert agency known as The Central Bureau (TCB). “He’s the mercurial man in charge who knows where all the non-metaphorical bodies are buried,” reads the character’s description.
It’s also worth noting that Academy Award nominee Robert Valley created the animated Elvis Presley’s look and Agent Elvis’ wardrobe is designed by fashion designer John Varvatos.
Created by Presley and John Eddie, Mike Arnold serves as showrunner, headwriter and executive producer alongside Eddie, who serves as co-showrunner and writer. McConaughey, Kevin Noel, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, Ben Kalina, Jamie Salter, Corey Salter and Marc Rosen executive produce. Fletcher Moules will serve as co-executive producer. “Agent Elvis” is produced in partnership with Authentic Brands Group and Titmouse.
