“While I had met him briefly, we had never worked with him before,” Miller said. “He was a huge animation fan and he came to Blur [Studios] Talking to me about one movie, a different movie entirely, he said, ‘What I really want to talk about is love, death, and robots. Can you tell me everything? I like animation.
“I said, ‘Well, we’re doing another thing. Do you want to be a part of it?’ And he said, ‘Yeah. I said, “Is there anything in particular you want to play?” “His answer was, ‘No, just let me be the coach.’
“So, I asked Dave, ‘If you cast Keanu Reeves in the show, what role would he play?’ At first, Dave thought I was joking about Keanu Reeves wanting to be on the show.
Wilson then shared his story, saying: “[Miller] Dictate into his phone, like that character in “The Crackers,” so you get these weird messages that don’t quite make sense.
“I get texts like, ‘Hey, do we have anything for piano?’ and I’m like, ‘What? ” And then I realized, then, yeah, I don’t believe it.
Miller then sent a video of Reeves in the studio to prove what he said was true.
Wilson added: “Keanu actually came and it was late in the series and we had all the art hanging on the walls. So there weren’t that many episodes to cast, so I would start Getting video casting from other people, I said, ‘Tim, I don’t have any roles left.
When talking about what it was like to work with Levi’s, Wilson said: “You hear all the stories about how great Keanu is, but usually, it’s just a hype machine. I can tell you, without exaggeration, He is the nicest person.
“I mean, we usually only shoot for a day or two, but he showed up, primed, and ready to go. I think he shot for 13 hours straight. He’s just an amazing guy.
