‘President Curtis’ Star Keith David on Why He Loves Science Fiction
President Curtis premiered this past weekend immediately following the season nine finale of Rick and Morty—and the stars of that show popped up in the first episode to give the spin-off their (snarky) blessing. Ahead of President Curtis‘ second-season renewal news, which was announced this past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, io9 got a chance to talk to its stars: Keith David, who plays the POTUS, and Jim Rash, who plays Secret Service Agent O’Doyle. It’s a reunion for the Community co-stars, as well as the latest genre project for David, whose sci-fi and horror cred stretches back decades.
