Nathan Kress reflects on working in latest Christmas gig

Nathan Kress has weighed in on his recent work experience in A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas.

As fans will be aware, Kress has voiced the role of Chuck E. Cheese in the new holiday film.

While speaking with PEOPLE Magazine, he shared that he felt pressure while becoming Chuck E. Cheese.

"It was a lot of pressure," he began.

"And it sounds crazy thinking about, like, it's just a cartoon character. But it's not though!" he added.

Elaborating on how people's expectations vary greatly from what the character actually stands for, he explained, "I feel like people have this weird innate expectation of what that character might actually sound like in a narrative-based cartoon environment and not just at your birthday party, kicking off a song."

"I had to sit with that for a while and figure out, who is this guy and what's his energy level? What can you bring to it that's got some heart and some character to it?" he continued. 

The acting sensation concluded by saying, "Surprisingly enough, it sort of took a minute and I actually had to come at it from a relatively deep acting process, which again, sounds insane, but I think it actually came across."

"It's thankfully been facilitated by a very heartfelt, really sweet script and just a good story," he remarked.
