Craig Robinson Leaps Onto Adam Rifkin’s ‘Toad’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The Office alum will be playing the villain in Adam Rifkin’s psychedelic Laugh Factory comedy feature production Toad.
Cameras roll in February. In the spirit of pics like Cheech and Chong’s Up In Smoke, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, Toad follows the wild story of two naive slackers, Sam (James Paxton of Twisters) and Alex (Oliver Wyman of Feeling Randy), who are hired to transport a box of contraband psychedelic toads from LA to Vegas.
When the desert heat causes the toads to suffer heatstroke, our two heroes are inadvertently dosed when they give the toads CPR and suddenly find themselves on an hallucinogenic odyssey.
Robinson will play Charles, a charming, yet terrifying crime boss who entrusts the delivery of his precious toads to the knuckle headed Sam and Alex.
