It seems that the latest sequel to the Alvin & The Chipmunks franchise is in troubled waters. Funnyman/actor David Cross is refusing to stay silent about his miserable experience in a pelican costume for "Alvin & The Chipmunks" sequel "Chipwrecked" and he's taking aim at the producer who ruined a trip to London by insisting he had to be in all scenes featuring his character.
The "Arrested Development" star, who played a villainous music svengali in the first two Alvin films, opened up about his bust-up with an unnamed movie executive online just before the third movie came out last December and now he's taking the matter further on chat shows. Appearing on "Conan" last Monday, Cross again took issue with the producer who insisted he should cut short a break in Britain to dress up in a pelican costume and wander about a cruise ship.
He went on record to say that in all honesty, it was the most miserable experience he'd ever had in his professional life and he was forced, at legal point, to spend a week on a cruise ship that was terrible. To which he added that there was no reason for him to be there. He said that they (producers) thought that it be fun to get David on there and that in the scenes that take place on the cruise ship, he was always in a pelican mascot foam rubber outfit where one cannot see any of my flesh, nor does he have any dialogue.
Cross admits he suggested a body double be used for the cruise ship scenes but there was one producer who insisted he was actually on the boat. Adding that she (producer) is the personification of what people think about when they think negatively about Jews.
