After starring in his first feature film, “Uncle Drew,” Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving is making moves in the television industry.
Irving lended his voice to “Vernon The Water Bear” in Sunday night’s episode of “Family Guy,” titled “Big Trouble in Little Quahog.” As one of the main characters, Stewie, described, water bears are “predominantly water-dwelling, eight-legged segmented micro-animals.” They are also known as moss piglets or tardigrades.
“You can call me tardy, but I’m always on time,” Irving’s character, Vernon, joked.
In the episode — the fourth of the animated series’ 17th season — another character, Brian, teases Stewie for his small stature.
