The actor, who seems to in his complete element, shared the first look of the film with him as the tough, cigar-smoking President via his Twitter account, "I met David more than 4 years ago, when he showed me his short `Kung Fury` & I laughed my ass off & told him if he ever made it a feature, I was in. Now we are having a great time together shooting the feature. His vision & persistence inspires me. I hope it inspires all of you."
