WWE's Danhausen Pitches Himself for Severance Season 3

The internet is abuzz with an unlikely crossover pitch. WWE's delightfully evil, very nice, very evil superstar Danhausen has thrown his hat into the ring for Severance Season 3. He directly appealed to actor-director Ben Stiller on social media, sparking immediate fan speculation.
Danhausen, a unique personality in professional wrestling, is beloved for his distinct charm and often hilarious antics. He's built a massive following and impressive merchandise sales, despite limited ring time. Fresh off a New York Knicks win — a team Ben Stiller passionately supports — Danhausen seized the moment. He took to social media with a direct plea: "Hello [BenStiller] can Danhausen star in Severance Season 3? Danhausen's outtie enjoys cruising around in his PT Cruiser." Stiller, still riding the high of the Knicks' victory, has yet to respond.
This move marks a potential leap for Danhausen. While he excels at character work within wrestling, a transition to a critically acclaimed, non-wrestling drama would be uncharted territory. Severance, the hit Apple TV series, captivates audiences with its chilling sci-fi premise. It follows employees at Lumon Industries who undergo a surgical procedure, separating their work and personal memories. Season 3 is currently in active production, though an official release date remains under wraps. The ultimate decision on any new casting, including a potential "very nice, very evil" Lumon employee, rests with series creator Dan Erikson. Could Danhausen's eccentric persona find a home among the severed? The idea is certainly intriguing.
“Hello [BenStiller] can Danhausen star in Severance Season 3? Danhausen's outtie enjoys cruising around in his PT Cruiser.”
