Ben Stiller asked Barack Obama to make a cameo in season 2 of "Severance," and he got a quick reply from the former president

Severance season 2 is currently blowing everyone’s minds after a three year break but it almost did something even weirder than what we’ve seen so far: cast Barack Obama

Barack Obama turned down Keanu Reeves' role in Severance. The former United States President, 63, was offered a role in the hit AppleTV+ psychological sci-fi thriller series by Ben Stiller — who serves as executive producer and director on the show — as the voice of an animated Lumon building in a film shown to staff in season two.
