Dan Harmon Wants Sam Rockwell as a Guest Star in Rick and Morty

Dan Harmon, one of the creators of Rick and Morty, has revealed the next big name he’d love to see on the show: Oscar-winning actor Sam Rockwell. The animated series, which has previously featured stars like Gillian Jacobs, Susan Sarandon, John Oliver, and Elon Musk, is gearing up for its eighth season and opening the door to new guest stars.

Harmon considers bringing Rockwell into the voice acting world a major coup. Showrunner Scott Marder notes that the relatively short time commitment of voice work makes it feasible to collaborate with A-list actors. Rockwell’s energetic and character-driven acting style seems a perfect fit for the wild universe of Rick and Morty. Whether this dream will come true in the new season, set to premiere on May 25, remains a topic of intrigue.
