In “American Underdog,” Ser’Darius Blain plays Kurt Warner’s best friend Mike. Kurt (played by Zachary Levi) and Mike work closely together throughout the movie, and it’s clear that the two actors hit it off immediately. “Zach’s the best, man. He’s one of my favorite co-stars, to date, just outside of acting even,” Blain explained. “He’s just a fun, loving, honest, genuine guy. He wants to save the planet. Honestly, he’s a bit of a superhero in real life as well.” The chemistry between the actors speaks for itself, and it’s nice to know that the team bonded offscreen as well. “It was a divine pleasure getting to know him and getting to know Anna [Paquin],” Blain said, “and [directors] Andy Erwin and Jon Erwin, and everybody involved with this.”
As for the fact that Blain’s character has to teach Levi’s character to dance in the movie, the “Charmed” star was ready to set the record straight. “In a scene. I had to teach [him to dance in a scene],” Blain told Nicki Swift. “In real life, he’s actually a very, very good dancer, and I’ve been making sure I tell everybody that, because he’s like, ‘Let them know I can dance!’ But yeah, he’s a fantastic dancer. It was so fun getting to kind of ham it up with him a bit and teach him how to dance.”
