Dennis Haysbert has been cast in Seth MacFarlane’s TED 2. The sequel to the 2012 comedy stars Mark Wahlberg and his fun-loving but raunchy teddy bear, Ted. MacFarlane is once again directing and co-writing the comedy with Alex Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. Amanda Seyfried and Morgan Freeman have also recently been cast.
Haysbert is best known for his TV roles in series like “24” and “The Unit,” as well as for being the voice of Allstate Insurance. Haysbert has also lent his distinctive voice to animated projects like “Wreck-It Ralph” and “Mr. Peabody & Sherman.” He will next appear in Jason Reitman’s upcoming dramedy “Men, Women & Children.”
Haysbert is repped by Gersh and GS Management.
