Chris Jericho reveals how he landed role on ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’
Chris Jericho revealed he initially auditioned for Nick Offermans’ role in Margo’s Got Money Troubles.
On the latest episode of Talk is Jericho Podcast, Jericho discussed how the project came about and his involvement in the series. He stated going into auditions targeting Offerman’s role in the series but his read impressed the casting crew who wanted him to be more engaged rather than a background presence.
“It’s weird enough playing myself, but it’s kind of cool. Nick and Nicole, how could you not be cool with this? I actually auditioned for the part that Nick plays. They liked my read. ‘Let’s have him do something in this scene more than just a background.’ That’s how all that came about.”
The comedy drama series premiered on Apple TV+ on April 15. It also features Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman. This is one of the many projects Jericho has taken on this year, and hopes to pursue his acting career further.
Jericho made his AEW return on the April 1 edition of Dynamite after nearly a year away. During that time, he indicated his contract with the promotion was nearing expiry at the end of the year which furthered speculation on him potentially signing with WWE for one more run. At AEW Dynasty, he competed in his first match back against Ricochet.
