Curtis Armstrong talks up ”Snot” in new Reddit AMA

Poor Snot.
Poor Snot.

Curtis Armstrong recently took part in a Reddit AMA where he fielded a number of questions about his career, including his role as ”Snot” on the FOX animated series returning this Sunday Night American Dad. During his session, Curtis got into a decent amount of ”booger” talk about his time as Booger on Revenge of the Nerds which evidently was the inspiration for his name in Seth MacFarlane’s animated series:

Yes, it was Seth MacFarlane’s nerd tribute. And yes, if it’s mucus, it’s mine. Apparently.

On of the interesting developments of this season was the passing of Snot’s father. This is an interesting character arc, one that I am actually looking forward to seeing when American Dad premiers on TBS later this year. So, when someone noted to Curtis about the story change, it sounds as if he was rather enthusiastic:

As you know, American Dad can push the envelope! I love pushing the envelope! As long as I can blame it on the writers!!

But will Snot be able to cope with his father’s death?

Snots going to do fine. He’ll get over his father’s death and continue his personal growth. Maybe really get laid. That would be good.

Interesting…but are there any good behind the scenes stories of working on American Dad? You know, the same show made by THE Seth MacFarlane and has been riddled with complaints from the PTC? Well…

It’s hard to come up with stories, really, because I only go in to record my parts, so I don’t even get to work with the other actors. I only see them when we’re all sitting around waiting to record and then we just usually talk about our families!

Sounds dirty, does it not? Okay, maybe not.

American Dad returns this Sunday Night on FOX @ 7:30 pm EST, check your local listings and get a sneak peek with these stills.
