8 Unusual Demands Made By Guest Stars On Rick And Morty

8. David Cross Was Uncomfortable With Nudity

Episode four of the first season, M. Night Shaym-Aliens!, saw Arrested Development actor David Cross featuring in a cameo role. In the episode, he plays one of Rick’s self-proclaimed enemies, Prince Nebulon, and leads a race of aliens with a very particular phobia that some fans of the actor may recognise.

Known for playing a man uncomfortable with nudity while on Arrested Development, Cross suggested to the writers of the show that they should incorporate this little Easter egg into the show to tie some of his work together. Not only is this a genius comedic move, but it’s also nice that the show agreed to pay homage to the series that really helped the actor take off.

His role as the Prince of the Zigerions is hilarious, and the storyline of the episode is vastly improved by his hatred of nudity yet obsession with finding Rick's Concentrated Dark Matter so that he can tend to the discolouration of his butthole flaps. Yes, the episode is fairly chaotic and vulgar, but what else do you expect from the show?
