SUPERMANSION S1 Press Kit OVERVIEW Titanium Rex (voiced by Bryan Cranston) is an aging super hero who has long been the head of the League of Freedom, a once-proud assembly of super heroes that isn’t what it used to be. The aging, irascible Titanium Rex finds himself playing mentor to a new crop of Millennial-aged heroes who have little interest in their noble profession. Much to Titanium Rex’s chagrin, they’re all thrown together to live in the SuperMansion, where the young heroes learn how to harness their super powers and fight for justice, liberty… and the need to stay relevant to society. Join Titanium and Black Saturn, Cooch, American Ranger, Brad and Jewbot in their uproariously inappropriate adventures in SuperMansion. CAST Bryan Cranston as Titanium Rex/Executive Producer BRYAN CRANSTON has won four Emmy® Awards, a Golden Globe Award and three Screen Actors Guild Awards for his portrayal of Walter White on AMC's Breaking Bad. Cranston holds the honor of being the first actor in a cable series, and the second lead actor in the history of the Emmy® Awards to receive three consecutive wins. His performance has also earned him two additional Emmy® nominations, three Golden Globe nominations and a Television Critics Association award. Cranston recently won a Tony® Award for his Broadway debut as President Lyndon B. Johnson in All the Way, by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan. He also received the Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award and Theater World Award for “Outstanding Actor in a Play.” The show also won the Tony® Award for “Best Play” and set the record for the highest amount ever generated by a straight play in one eight performance week. HBO is planning a film adaption of the play which will be produced by Cranston’s production company, Moon Shot Entertainment along with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television and Tale Told Productions.
Cranston's additional feature film credits include: Contagion, John Carter of Mars, Larry Crowne, The Lincoln Lawyer, Little Miss Sunshine, Seeing Other People, Saving Private Ryan and That Thing You Do! Born to a show business family and raised in Southern California, Cranston made his acting debut at the age of eight in a United Way commercial. It wasn't until he finished college that acting became a serious consideration. While on a cross-country motorcycle trip with his brother, he discovered community theater and began exploring every aspect of the stage. Soon, he was cast in a summer stock company. Cranston returned to Los Angeles and quickly landed a role on the television movie Love Without End, which led to his being signed as an original cast member of ABC's Loving. He went on to appear in numerous television roles including a seven-year run as Hal on FOX's Malcolm in the Middle, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and three Emmy® awards; the recurring role of Dentist, Tim Whatley on Seinfeld; HBO's acclaimed miniseries, From the Earth to the Moon, as Buzz Aldrin, and the made-for-television movie I Know My First Name is Steven, among others. He has guest starred on numerous TV programs. Cranston continues to pursue his love for theater whenever possible. Credits include: The God of Hell, Chapter Two, The Taming of the Shrew, A Doll's House, Eastern Standard, Wrestlers, Barefoot in the Park and The Steven Weed Show, for which he won a Drama-Logue Award. Cranston is also enjoying success behind the camera, as a director, writer and producer. He has earned three Directors Guild of America (DGA) Award nominations, the first for an episode of Modern Family followed by two nominations this year for episodes of Modern Family and Breaking Bad. As a producer on Breaking Bad, he has won Emmy® Awards and a Producers Guild of America Award for “Outstanding Drama Series. “ He previously wrote, directed and starred in the original romantic drama Last Chance as a birthday gift for his wife, Robin Dearden, and also directed several episodes of Malcolm in the Middle and the Comedy Central pilot Special Unit. In 2011, Cranston served as executive producer of an exclusive online series called The Handlers for Atom.com, in which he also starred as Jack Powers, a politician campaigning for a seat in the State Senate. Cranston also produced an instructional DVD called KidSmartz, which is designed to educate families on how to stay safe from child abduction and Internet predators. KidSmartz raises money for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Heidi Lynn Gardner as Cooch Tucker Gilmore as Black Saturn Keegan-Michael Key as American Ranger/Sgt. Agony Tom Root as Brad Zeb Wells as Jewbot Zeb Wells is an Emmy and Annie Award winning writer and actor for the TV show Robot Chicken, including the Emmy-nominated Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode II. Wells has written numerous titles like Heroes for Hire and Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways and various Spider-Man titles and in 2006 signed an exclusive contract with Marvel. He then wrote Venom: Dark Origin telling the origin of Eddie Brock and the Symbiote, as well as the Dark Reign: Elektra tie-in series. He wrote twenty of the first twenty-one issues of the third volume of New Mutants, a series he launched with artist Diogenes Neves, including the crossover with Necrosha. Being published in parallel with that series was Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Anti-Venom - New Ways To Live. Wells launched the series Avenging Spider-Man with artist Joe Madureira in November 2011. CREW Seth Green – Executive Producer If you’ve gone to the movies or watched television in the last 30 years, you already know Seth Green’s work. Green stars in the upcoming animated feature, Yellowbird, voicing the main character. Green recently starred in the feature films The Identical with Ray Liotta, Ashley Judd and Joe Pantoliano, Lionsgate's Sexy Evil Genius, opposite Katee Sackhoff and Michelle Trachtenberg, and festival-winning favorite, The Story of Luke, as Lou Taylor Pucci's autistic mentor. Green additionally narrated a doc that was shortlisted for an Academy Award, Jujitsu-ing Reality, about Sexy Evil Genius screenwriter Scott Lew, who wrote the film while battling ALS, unable to speak or type. Green starred in last season's Fox sitcom Dads, from the writers of Ted with Seth MacFarlane as executive producer. Green, a frequent Emmy® nominee for Outstanding Voice-Over performance for Robot Chicken, is proud that his show is also often nominated as Outstanding Short-Format Animated Program, the same category that earned him an Emmy® in 2010. Green and his Stoopid Monkey Prods. producing partner Matt Senreich created the show and serve as executive producers, writers and sometime directors for the stop-motion animated series, with Green providing 30-65 voices each episode. The pop culture parody show, in pre-production for season eight, airs on Adult Swim and earns great reviews and ratings. Green directed their two Robot Chicken DC Comics Specials and their three Robot Chicken: Star Wars specials, which all earned Emmy® nominations and won numerous Annie Awards, including a directing win for Green. With Tom Root, they also executive produced Titan Maximum for Adult Swim. In 2012, Stoopid Monkey and Buddy Systems joined forces to debut their own animation studio, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Green is also the investor/spokesperson for Shodogg, a proprietary video delivery platform. He continues to voice Chris Griffin on Family Guy, the hit Fox animated series, as well as A-Bomb on Disney XD's Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., and Leonardo in Nickelodeon's primetime animated show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He has several other series and films in development. Green starred in Without A Paddle, Party Monster, Knockaround Guys, Can’t Hardly Wait, The Italian Job and Rat Race. He also co-starred in Old Dogs, America’s Sweethearts and all three Austin Powers films, along with starring roles in numerous television series. He mocked his well-earned nice guy reputation guesting on Entourage as a jerky version of himself. Aside from his other accolades, Green reached the pinnacle of showbiz success in the most tangible medium … multiple action figures made in his likeness by the industry’s top toymakers. He’s worked almost non-stop since he began in the business at age seven. Green was born on February 8, 1974 to an artist and a math teacher in Philadelphia, where he and his older sister grew up. He signed with a manager who had him working the next day on an RCA/John Denver promotion. Soon he was commuting regularly between Philly and locations across the country. At eight, Green landed his first film assignment, a co-starring role in Hotel New Hampshire with Jodie Foster and Rob Lowe. At twelve, Green auditioned for Woody Allen and was given a date to report to work. He had no idea he would be filming for eighteen weeks in New York and wind up with the leading role in Radio Days. Green traded quips with Carson on The Tonight Show at thirteen and is admired as one of the rare child actors who successfully transitioned to adult roles and success. Green grew up onscreen in several feature films including Big Business, My Stepmother is an Alien, Can’t Buy Me Love and was a series regular on ABC’s Good and Evil, ABC’s The Byrds of Paradise, and CBS’ Temporarily Yours. His memories of being a child actor are "Vague," he says, "I met a lot of people at the right time who pointed me in the right direction. It humbled me,” admits Green. “You get wrapped up in the money and having people tell you you’re great. You forget that you are just pretending, it comes just as fast as it goes.” He starred in David Mamet’s American Buffalo at the Old Globe in San Diego in ‘96. “It spoiled me,” marvels Green, “I had the benefit of doing one of the best plays a young actor can do with three of the best people I’ve ever worked with.” Of his constant rave reviews, Green modestly replies, “I’ve been incredibly fortunate. My forays into certain mediums have been of such high quality it makes me look better than I am.” Hey Seth, ever heard the expression scene-stealer? Everyone says it behind your back. “Mike Myers is a classy guy,” says Green of his on-screen father, off-screen producer in 1997’s Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, 1999’s Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember. Myers’ directive: “Improvise and try not to laugh,” reports Green, who did just that as Scott Evil, Dr. Evil’s estranged son. Green described his character as “an angry, rebellious youth torn between wanting to hate his father and wanting to have a relationship with him.” The added bonus of the film’s success was the creation of a Scott Evil action figure that Green, a self-confessed “longtime fan of action figures,” helped develop for McFarlane Toys. “It’s the coolest, I’ve come full circle,” says Green, who admits that he and his likeness “differ in size and articulation.” In Columbia’s Can’t Hardly Wait, Green played Kenny Fisher, whom he described as “a wannabe black kid -- my whole goal was to lose my virginity.” Along the way, Green says, “I fell down a lot. It was my Jack Tripper homage.” Green began his role as Oz, a guitarist and sometime werewolf, on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in late ’97 while filming Can’t Hardly Wait. “Joss Whedon, the show’s creator, told me that Oz would have the same reaction to spray cheese as to true love.” Green left the show in 1999 explaining that “the character was always better served in a recurring capacity and Joss and I both felt it was better to revert to that status.” His Buffy schedule precluded a larger role in Touchstone’s Will Smith starrer, Enemy of the State, but Green was thrilled to work with director Tony Scott. Knockaround Guys was “a fantastic script with inventive and creative directors,” says Green, describing his character, Johnny Marbles, as “a delusional screw-up. He’s willing to stand up to anybody but gets beaten nine times out of ten.” Playing two-bit con, Duane Cody, in Jerry Zucker’s Rat Race, Green explains, “I wanted to do as many stunts as the insurance company would allow.” He earned the bruises to prove it. In America’s Sweethearts, starring Julia Roberts and John Cusack, Green played a rising studio publicity executive under the tutelage of Billy Crystal’s veteran character at a film junket from hell. Next, Green starred on Fox's series, Greg the Bunny as the best friend/ co-worker to the title character, a puppet or "fabricated American," with Eugene Levy as Seth’s estranged father and the producer of the children’s show where they worked. In 2003, Green portrayed a technological genius in Paramount’s hit, The Italian Job. He and Macaulay Culkin starred in Killer Films’ indie flick Party Monster, the true story of New York club-kid-turned-murderer Michael Alig and James St. James. Green, also the film's narrator, won critical praise for his portrayal of the heroin-addicted, wildly excessive portion of St. James' life. Green spent months in New Zealand in 2003 filming the lead in Without a Paddle. The role required endless stunts (and spooning with a bear) but it paid off when it was released in 2004 as a surprisingly strong summer hit that remained in the theatres for five months. That year, Green also played a mysterious museum curator in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. Between film roles, Green and Senreich debuted their series, Sweet J Presents, on Sony’s Screenblast. The duo created/executive produced twelve webisodes utilizing stop-motion photography and, you guessed it, action figures. They were ahead of their time as everyone was still on dial-up internet access back then. It eventually led to Robot Chicken, which began airing in February, 2005 to record ratings. Robot Chicken also enjoys great success internationally, pretty remarkable for a project that began as an animated short so Green could avoid talking about himself on a talk show. In Fox’s animated primetime series, Family Guy, Green plays Chris Griffin, the teenage son in a very dysfunctional family. The series debuted in 1999, ran sporadically for three seasons, got cancelled, went back into production in 2004 and became a huge hit and DVD favorite. He also starred in NBC’s Four Kings about a group of brotherly young men living together in NY and the feature film, Sex Drive as a sarcastic Amish man who has a way with automobiles. Green was Robin Williams and John Travolta's foil/put-upon assistant in Old Dogs and the lead in Mars Needs Moms. Starring in multiple film and television projects is fulfilling and Green is enjoying his role as a media mogul. His inspiration for creating projects: “I read so many scripts that are being produced that are just awful and some of the most incredible scripts never get made.” He already reached his original goal, "Getting all my friends together to make a movie or TV show." Green and childhood friend/writer Hugh Sterbakov created a Top Cow comic book, Freshmen, which debuted at Comic-Con in 2005 and instantly sold out across the country. Known for his professionalism on and off the set, Green says, “I don’t take myself seriously but I take what I do seriously -- I always want to work hard and to appreciate what I am getting.” Green admits that his current busy schedule does not allow him to indulge in one of his favorite activities in years, watching every single film that is released. Well in that case, we’ll just have to watch Green instead. You’ll have to work hard to miss him.

Powers: Flight, Strength of a Titan, X-Ray Vision. Specialty: Close to learning email. Miles below the crust of the earth, a utopian society thrives in the glorious city of SUBTOPOLIS. Its denizens, hardened by intense heat and pressure, took their names from the elements they so revered. 80 years ago a brave explorer from House Titanium set off on a mission to find new lands for his people to conquer. His name was TITANIUM REX. After a long, arduous journey Rex became the first Subtopian to set foot on the surface world, inhabited by a weak but intelligent strain of humanity: the people of Earth. On the surface world he found that he was practically invulnerable. His eyes, evolved in low light, could see the X-ray spectrum. The thin atmosphere of Earth could not tether him to the ground. And most impressively, the gauntlet bestowed upon all Subtopians at birth both contains and focuses the strong electromagnetic field of his people into a devastating plasma blast. Realizing that he could become a hero to these people (and their immensely attractive women) as opposed to a conqueror, Rex vowed to keep their presence from the Subtopians and stay on the surface as humanity’s champion. In doing so he sacrificed the near-immortality granted his people by the electromagnetic core and began to age (albeit slowly). Working with the Allies in WWII he gathered a team of like-minded heroes and created the League of Freedom. These champions turned the tide of WWII and became a beacon of hope for the entire world. The League thrived post-war, adapting to the times, adding and shedding heroes as the team’s legacy grew into a legend. By the end of the Cold War they were at the top of their game, with the ever present Rex at their head, guiding the team to feats of greatness. But the world has changed a lot in the past twenty years. The heroes that Rex cultivated himself have all been replaced with a younger, brasher breed. And Rex is no longer a young man. His body failing him, he’s becoming out of touch, a crotchety old man in a cape. It’s time for Rex to step down. Retire… …TOO BAD. Rex won’t give up his legacy without a fight. If they want the team, they’ll have to pry it from his liver-spotted hands. If that means controlling a new generation of self-centered, eccentric heroes, so be it. BLACK SATURN (VOICED BY TUCKER GILMORE) Age: 28 Powers: Never misses with his assortment of throwing discs. Specialty: Brooding. Bleakness. Frisbee Golf. Black Saturn is the millionaire playboy with a dark secret…and that secret is that he’s been a coddled baby all his life. He’s a pampered trust-fund baby who decided to dress up as the defender of the night full time after he “lost his parents.” No, they’re not dead. They’re just embarrassed by their grown son who spends his life in Spandex and a cape. With endless funds at his disposal, Black Saturn is always developing new gadgets, but his favored weapons are his patented Saturn Rings -- electronic throwing discs that he uses to subdue, knock-out and capture bad guys. He’s got different rings for different purposes. Some are for Frisbee Golf. While Black Saturn claims to be a loner, he’s secretly lonely and craves companionship. But because he’s a tool, his only solid human connection is with the Groaner, his nemesis who he visits regularly in the mansion’s basement prison. COOCH (VOICED BY HEIDI LYNN GARDNER) Age: 25 Powers: Super-human speed and agility. Razor sharp claws. Specialty: Using a toilet. Most of the time. Cooch began life as a raggedy trailer park cat for a Kentucky hoarder named Claudette. Titanium Rex and Dr. Gizmo fell out of the upper atmosphere during one of their battles and Cooch was struck with an EVO-RAY, evolving her into a humanoid cat. She’s incredibly fast and agile, but retains some of her feline heritage (do NOT forget to empty her litter box.) Cooch is the wildcard of the group - when heading into a conflict, trying to predict what she's going to do is impossible. She means well and tries to help but her erratic moods and hair-trigger often screw things up. She's still got that back-alley sensibility so she can blend into seedier environments and still has her ear to the underground. That wild-side can lead her off on different adventures than the rest of the league. She gets along with everybody, for the most part, although Black Saturn is allergic to her. Brad and Cooch have an ongoing on-and-off again relationship, which explains why Brad occasionally coughs up hairballs. AMERICAN RANGER (VOICED BY KEEGAN-MICHAEL KEY) Age: 22 Powers: Wings for flight, an eagle eye for spotting trouble and a beacon of the American Dream. He’s also skilled in traditional soldiery combat and peeling potatoes. Specialty: Finding a way to perform in bed with his 90 year old wife. The American Ranger is the result of a World War II government experiment to infuse an army private with the DNA of that most patriotic symbol of American pride, the Bald Eagle -- a flying, winged mega soldier! Along with his old friend Titanium Rex, American Ranger fought the Nazi scourge to victory. Shortly after the war, he was preserved, against his will, in a time-tunnel until America would need him again. Apparently, that day never came. Sixty years later, a maintenance crew found him in an old warehouse and pulled him out of deep freeze to join the League of Freedom. Now, trapped in a time when patriotism is passé, this young man (with an 80-year-old’s politics. He’s not racist…he just needs a little time.) Like a greeter at Walmart, American Ranger is just happy to have a job. He comes off as boisterous and super positive, because AMERICA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET, but he’s well aware his life is a sham and he doesn’t fit in to this new world. You don’t want to be there when the façade cracks. BRAD (VOICED BY TOM ROOT) Age: 43 Powers: Incredible strength, augmented musculature, invulnerability, superhuman lung capacity Specialty: Taking one day at a time. While high. There’s no drug Brad hadn’t tried. His body had been filled with every kind of pill, powder, syrup, fruit and suppository known to man. So when he was invited to be the test subject for an experimental drug at Optocorp, he jumped at the chance to get high on someone else’s dime. However, when the new drug reacted with his tainted bloodstream, Brad was transformed into the hulking pink brute he is today. News quickly spread of a large pink man terrorizing drug dealers across the city. Titanium Rex took notice of this young upstart and invited Brad to join the League of Freedom, unaware that in reality Brad was just stealing the dealers’ drugs. Also that he was recruiting a raging addict with impulsive behavior, no boundaries and a flair for self-sabotage. Brad quickly jumped at the opportunity for “three hots and a cot.” Brad’s interest in being a hero is summed up by the fact that he never even bothered coming up with a code name. It’s just Brad. Unbeknownst to Brad, the shadowy corporation behind his experimental drug is owned by the parents of his teammate, Black Saturn. JEWBOT (VOICED BY ZEB WELLS) Age: N/A Powers: A robot with the ability to transform his appendages into any tool. Specialty: Pondering what it means to be human. Robobot is the aptly named robotic member of the league. In 1994 a foreign scientist working for the American government at Darpanet built Robobot as a "futuristic tool" that would make the league stronger. When Robobot first arrived, instead of fighting alongside the league, Titanium Rex made Robobot their butler and had him clean toilets and bring them crudités trays. One day, Robobot caught a double feature at a retro movie theater of Short Circuit and Beaches. "Short Circuit" didn't affect him at all - in fact, he hated it and felt it was "unrelatable" - but "Beaches" overwhelmed him with so many emotions that he became self-aware. After that day, the fog of unconsciousness lifted and Robobot decided he wanted to be human. Titanium Rex was so impressed by Robobot's drive and dedication to finding himself, he made him a full-fledged member of the team. While digging into his own past Robobot realizes that the person who designed his plans was a Jewish woman named Martha Goldstein. Robobot takes this to mean he has a Jewish mother and, according to the Torah, he is one of the chosen people. Robobot begins referring to himself as Jewbot and dives into Jewish tradition and lore. Robobot continues to explore new parts of himself that can lead to surprising conclusions. The Groaner (VOICED BY ZEB WELLS) Age: Unknown Powers: None Specialty: Prop comedy, megalomania, being a good listener In the 1980’s, the Groaner was working corporate gigs as an up-and-coming prop comic named Elmer Finkleman. One night, Finkleman tested out a daring new joke, one which required boiling a dozen eggs and a trenchcoat, but never reached the “hard-boiled detective” punchline. In a horrible accident, the scalding water burned off his entire face. As he screamed in agony and fled the stage, the audience gave him a rousing standing ovation. The next time he returned to the stage, Elmer Finkleman was no more. He was…The Groaner. Angered by his public mutilation and the cruelty of the audience, the Groaner turned to a life of crime. He tormented the public with his love of prop comedy. He was determined to get respect and laughter by inciting fear. On one occasion, he kidnapped a group of tourists and forced them to watch him perform. It was one of the largest mass-suicides on record. QUICK FACTS
