Ever dream of starring in your favorite cartoon?
Adult Swim is making that dream a reality for one individual. Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim recently announced that one “lucky” real person will get the opportunity to star as Carl in the first-ever live action episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
The cult-cartoon phenom will begin its search for an authentic Carl Saturday, July 26, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., at the Omni Hotel in San Diego during this year’s Comic-Con convention.
What better place to find a Carl look-alike than a comic convention. New York Comic Con was filled with people dressed as anywhere from the cliche “Star Wars” character to “Naruto” and “Bleach” wannabes.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of Adult Swim’s most popular animated action-adventure, comedy-dramas, follows the strange everyday lives of three human-sized food products who live in New Jersey. Their next-door neighbor is Carl, a simple man who’s endearingly sweaty, hairy, lewd, fashion-challenged, horny, nasty and oftentimes annoying. All men remotely fitting that description are encouraged to show up. It would also help to be bald, have a mustache and wear a dirty white tank top, sweat pants and flip-flops. For background, video of Carl’s awesomeness can be seen at AdultSwim.com. Aqua Teen Hunger Force co-creator, Dave Wills, who is also the voice of Carl, will be on site at the San Diego search.
So, if you think you’ve got what it takes to be a live-action cartoon look-alike. Then make your way over to San Diego. BuzzFocus will be there getting a first-hand look at who could be the first live-action “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” Carl.
