Applegate will lend her voice to the character of Melissa, Saget's character's romantic foil. Samuel L Jackson (Snakes on a Plane) is narrating the film. Lewis Black, Mo'Nique and Tracy Morgan provide the voices of other leading roles.
Others involved in Farce of the Penguins voice cast include Jason Biggs, Mario Cantone, Dane Cook, Norm Crosby, Dave Coulier, Drea De Matteo, Adam Duritz, Harvey Fierstein, Gilbert Gottfried, Jonathan Katz, Jaime Kennedy, David Koechner, Lori Loughlin, Norm MacDonald, Carlos Mencia, Jeffrey Ross, Jonathan Silverman, John Stamos, Abe Vigoda, and Damon Wayans.
In a press release announcing Applegate's casting, Bob Saget said, "Having such a talented comedic actress as Christina Applegate play the part of 'Melissa' is another gift for this crazy film. My character, 'Carl,' has been dreaming his entire life to meet a penguin as grounded and sexually compatible as 'Melissa'/Christina. She and Mo'Nique are adorable and hilarious together. I got very lucky that she and all the actors liked the material 'cause she fits in perfectly with the ensemble."
In my recent interview with Tracy Morgan, the actor described Farce of the Penguins as 'penguin porn'. Farce of the Penguins is an R-rated take on one penguin's search for love while on a 70-mile trek leading up to the penguins annual mating ritual.
