The Voice Cast of 'Agent Elvis' Is Stacked
Netflix's latest animated series features a very familiar face in its lead role: none other than the pop culture icon Elvis Presley. Agent Elvis is a profane, action-packed spy adventure series which reimagines the rock star as a secret agent with a double life, working for The Central Bureau (TCB) while also touring the world as a beloved musician, bringing together the Sixties cool of James Bond and the adult animated shenanigans of Archer.
According to the show's official description, "Elvis Presley trades in his white jumpsuit for a jet pack when he is covertly inducted into a government spy program to help battle the dark forces that threaten the country he loves – all while holding down his day job as the King Of Rock And Roll."
The series was created by Priscilla Presley, who also appears in a supporting role. And the rest of the cast is, well, pretty stacked.

1) Elvis Presley - Matthew McConaughey
In a casting choice that makes so much sense the only surprising thing is how long it took for someone to think of it, Matthew McConaughey provides the voice of The King, delivering a vocal performance which will be familiar to anyone who watched Austin Butler (the star of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis) during awards season.

2) CeCe Ryder - Kaitlin Olson
The star of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia turns her foul-mouthed comedic talents to animated work here, portraying the special agent who is assigned to work with Elvis on his espionage adventures.

3) The Commander - Don Cheadle
Voicing the mysterious head of top secret spy agency TCB is no stretch for Don Cheadle, who was one of the original eleven in the Ocean's franchise, not to mention a recurring fan fave character in the action-packed Marvel Cinematic Universe, where he plays War Machine.

7) Zara - Ego Nwodim
If the voice of this character sounds familiar, it's for good reason: Zara is played by Saturday Night Live star Ego Nwodim, who regularly steals scenes on the popular sketch show, most recently with her character "Lisa from Temecula."
