Seth Green is plugging Dragon Quest IX
If you caught a midnight showing of Twilight Eclipse last night (I'm not going to judge) then you probably saw one of the new Dragon Quest IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies ads featuring none other than Seth Green. Seth has become something of a geek icon on par with Wil Wheaton, for his appearances in the Austin Powers flicks, his prominent role in Family Guy and for creating the brilliant Robot Chicken sketch show. He's also probably one of the few people who can rip on Star Wars and actually get George Lucas in on the joke.
It makes sense to have someone so recognizable in nerd-dom advertise Square and Nintendo's latest Dragon Quest, but I personally never suspected Seth Green of being a huge JRPG fan. In any case I'm sure he'll make the ads as memorable as the Mr. T WoW spots.
