Clement will play principal Bazwell, a nerdy and caring mentor to Liam and an ineffectual dandy of a man, always poised to support the students of North Dapto High with a helpful anecdote or encouraging song lyric.
House will voice Annie, Vicky’s friend and coworker at the school canteen, and Louise, the proprietress of the bowling club who has a deep, and some would say inexplicable, attraction to Koala Man.
Wright plays Spider, Kevin’s bogan best friend and neighbor who’s always down to help with a Koala Man mission, especially if someone needs to provide an illegal weapon to do so.
Otto will show up as Mindy, a sweet young koala cub with whom Koala Man shares a deep and mysterious connection. And Weaving will play King Emudeus, the wise and noble monarch of Australia’s emus.
Koala Man follows middle-aged dad Kevin and his not-so-secret identity, whose only superpower is a burning passion for following rules and snuffing out petty crime in the town of Dapto. Produced by 20th Century Animation for Hulu, Koala Man is executive produced by Cusack, Justin Roiland, Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit. Emma Fitzsimmons and Michael Cowap also serve as executive producers for Princess Bento. Scott Greenberg, Joel Kuwahara, Dana Tafoya Cameron and Ben Jones are executive producers for Bento Box Entertainment.
