The Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa has been cast in a bit part in Jennifer Aniston’s new movie, “Horrible Bosses”. He’s hot and hilarious, I can’t wait.

It has just been revealed that Mustafa will play a cop in the comedy, but it’s a smaller role. In a new interview, he talks about the commercials, the movie and comparing himself to The Situation.

Here’s an excerpt:

THR: What can you share about your role in “Horrible Bosses”?

Mustafa: It’s a smaller role, but who wouldn’t want to be in one of these funny, irreverent comedies? The cast is great. I’m playing a cop because I play these authoritative characters well. I don’t know exactly who I’m in the scene with — maybe Jennifer Aniston!

THR: You also landed a talent agreement last month with NBC. What does that mean, and what shows are you filming?

Mustafa: It means I’m exclusively working with NBC unless they approve other projects. I’m going to be filming an episode of “Chuck” next week. I don’t know how many episodes yet, but I do know I’m playing an official CIA guy (named Greta). The character is pretty goofy, so it’s going to be fun.

THR: What NBC shows do you hope to film guest spots on or even join?

Mustafa: “Chuck” was my top choice. “SNL” would be a dream. It was one of the first television shows my mom let me stay up to watch. I was in love with Mr. Bill.

THR: In the commercials, you appear to be quite the ladies man, but you have been dating dancer Brandi Oglesby. So, does art not imitate life?

Mustafa: No, I’m not one of those guys. If a woman is into me, it usually takes me awhile to figure that out. She has to hit me over the head with it.

THR: Do you follow a special diet or workout to keep yourself in shape?

Mustafa: I’ve been doing Tony Horton’s DVD sets for three years. Right now, I’m vegan-cleansing: no processed sugar, no caffeine, no alcohol, no animal products and no gluten. I never knew what gluten was before. Now I know exactly what it is, and it’s everything I want!

THR: Be honest, do you compare yourself to the Situation?

Mustafa: No, please. The Situation is the best thing in the world. Who names himself the Situation? If only the Old Spice Guy would have thought of that one. How outrageous is it? I do not take myself seriously like that — not in the least bit — that would be so pretentious.

Look at your movie, now back at me, now back at your movie. You see how cool it got? It just got the man that smells like your man could smell like.

They should cut out Jennifer Aniston completely and just let the Old Spice Guy rock the whole thing. To get Jason Bateman, we could just hack up “Extract” and edit him in. Voila! Movie done!

Who needs producers, premieres or a cast when you have this guy? He’s the king of optical illusions!
