Actor-comedian Seth Rogen says he wants Vin Diesel to join the upcoming comedy series, ‘The Studio 2’, which would be the sequel to the hit first season, ‘The Studio’ that aired on Apple TV+.
The Studio released on March 26 and starred Rogen alongside Kathryn Hahn and Chase Sui Wonders. The renewal of the series for another season was announced in May.
At the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show, Rogen was asked who he would want to star in the show, to which the actor took the name of Diesel.
"There’s a lot of actors I would love to work with, and some specifically who I think, you know, their personas are funny to explore. I think Vin Diesel would be very funny and fun to work with, mostly because if you think about it, he’s only in those 'Fast & Furious' movies," he said.
The 43-year-old actor noted some audiences – especially those in their 20s – know Diesel mostly for his "Fast & Furious" character, Dominic Toretto.
"So to see him outside of Dominic Toretto to me, would be very exciting," he added.
Host of the show, Jimmy Kimmel, jokingly added that Diesel is a regular viewer of the show, following which Rogen decided to pitch the project to the actor through the episode.
"I assume you’re watching this as you do every night. I assume you’re watching it while driving like a 65 Pontiac. If you would please consider, maybe we can organize a Zoom – and I’ll capture your baldness on a hard drive," he said.
Directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the 10-episode film, ‘The Studio’, was created by the actor alongside Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez.
