Damian Priest Says He Didn’t Have To Read Or Audition For ‘Steps’ Role

Damian Priest didn’t have to audition for ‘Steps’.

Back in July, Netflix issued a press release to announce Priest’s role in the animated film, which is set to hit Netflix on Friday, November 20.

In a new interview with Complex Graps, Priest said that Netflix reached out to WWE because they wanted him in the movie.

“Oh, this one I got lucky, I didn’t even have to read. Netflix contacted WWE and they straight up said, ‘We want Damian Priest to voice a role.’ I didn’t have to audition, it was just a matter of me saying yes or no. WWE was okay with it, it wasn’t going to mess with any of our scheduling. That’s always the main thing is we can do a lot more, but it’s just scheduling. At the end of the day, we’re WWE superstars and that comes first. So, it didn’t interfere at all. It was awesome, it worked out big time and I got to do it at a studio close to my home, so it was super easy for me. It was done really fast. It was, ‘Do you want to do it?’ Yes. ‘Okay, here’s the date, this is when we’re doing it’, and we’re good.”

The cast for ‘Steps’ also includes names like Amanda Seyfried, Peter Dinklage, and Daniel Radcliffe.

Elsewhere in the interview, Priest reflected on his recent comments about WWE’s main event scene. Check out his full comments by clicking here.
