Ken Jeong Talks About His Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare Voice Pack

In the past, stars have released their own special voice packs for Call of Duty games, injecting their own personality into the action. This includes rap stars like Snoop Dogg and Method Man, who have left quite an impression with their fan base, even if they're just shouting out voice commands in the game.

Add one more to the party, as Dr. Ken and Community actor Ken Jeong got his own voice pack in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare today. Selling for $3.99, the pack features Jeong at his best, with a number of great lines to go along with the shoot-em-up action.

Comingsoon.net recently caught up with the actor, and asked him why he got involved in creating a voice pack for the game.

Regarding how he got involved, Jeong explained, "To your point, I had heard about the word that Method Man and Snoop were doing it for Call of Duty and I got to see clips of that. I really love what they did with this and as an actor who does a lot of voiceover on animated projects like, I've done stuff on Despicable Me, and Bob's Burgers and all these other things. For me as an actor I was like, this is pretty sweet.

"What was so fun about this project was having a sense of humor. For the Call of Duty people to have a sense of humor about themselves – some of the games that I was introducing, not only were made allowable for improv for me to do my own thing, but it was also having a sense of even satire about some of the games. And that was even encouraged. It just shows how established Call of Duty is and how they're so dominant in their genre. They're so secure about themselves that it was ripe for parody. And to me, that was the most enjoyable aspect of all of this.

"You know, there were at times, when appropriate, a meta aspect to all of this, which was really unexpected. [laughs] Because there were some games, and these aren't the real games, but say there was a game called 'Stop This.' [In a deep movie trailer announcer voice] 'Stop this! This is a game where you… stop… this!' They would allow me to do stuff like that. It was so much fun, everyone having a sense of humor about all this and I think that's kind of important in life.

And the process was a lot of fun for him as well. "We had so much fun just trying to kind of make each other laugh. When appropriate, of course. It wasn't just an undisciplined chortle-fest. [laughs] But it was loads of fun. We had some of the best times ever… I was able to kind of inject my sensibility into that. But I think it's really – I understood the objective of the game; you're in the soldier's helmet or IFV or earpiece, giving them encouragement or telling them no, that's not the correct way to go… 'No, no, don't go this way.' It helps the storyline but when appropriate, you have a sense of humor about it."

Jeong is also hard at work on a new movie for Warner Bros. called Crazy Rich Asians, as well as the indie project Advantageous. You can read more of his interview here.
