David Cross Alvin And The Chipmunks
He portrayed Ian Hawke in Alvin and the Chipmunks, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked and voiced Crane in the Kung Fu Panda film franchise. David described Chipwrecked as “literally without question, the most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had in my professional life”.
He accused an unidentified producer of antisemitism and of mistreating him. He was also “forced at legal gunpoint” to spend a week shooting footage on a Carnival Cruise, which Cross argued was pointless since he had no lines and was unrecognizable in a pelican suit. That cost Cross a $150,000 bonus for violating his non-disparagement clause by discussing his grievances publicly.
