Damian Priest To Voice Character In Netflix’s Animated Movie Steps

Damien Priest has a new voice acting role, as he’s set to be part of the cast of Netflix’s animated film Steps. Netflix announced on Thursday (per Animation Magazine) that the WWE star is set to be part of the animated comedy, lending his voice to the character of Cracktor.

Priest joins a voice cast that includes Ali Wong (Lilith), Amanda Seyfried (Cinderella), Stephanie Hsu (Margot), Nikki Glaser (Priscilla), Daniel Radcliffe (The Prince), Young Mazino (Gef), Peter Dinklage (Roderick), and Bette Midler (Fairy Godmother). The film, which is the first film to be fully animated in-house within Netflix Animation Studios, is directed by Alyce Tzue & John Ripa and is set for release on November 20th.

Priest said in the announcement, “As WWE Superstars, we use our voices as an extension of our onscreen character. I enjoyed channeling that energy into making Cracktor feel intense and larger than life. I think people are going to be surprised by how much of a show-stealing character he is.”

The film is described as follows:

Think you know Cinderella’s “evil” stepsisters? Think again. Sick of living in Cinderella’s shadow, Lilith (Ali Wong) steals the Fairy Godmother (Bette Midler)’s magic wand and hijacks the Royal Ball with her sister Margot (Stephanie Hsu), breaking the Cinderella story as we know it and dooming the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla (Nikki Glaser), a villainous schemer who swoops in and snatches the throne. Now, Lilith must team up with Cinderella (Amanda Seyfried) to fight biker trolls, outrun evil henchmen, and escape the Screaming Woods on an epic quest to save the kingdom, but most importantly, their relationship.
