Larry Mullen, drummer for Irish rock band U2, is to appear in 2 episodes of The Cleveland Show next season; as a mobster in one, and as an Elvis Presley impersonator in the other.

He came in and we hung out for a couple of hours,” said co-creator Mike Henry. “We just recorded him doing a couple of different parts and he was very funny. It’s a thrill for me to do all this. U2 is my favourite band of all time … He’s got his own studio so we just record it from Dublin. You don’t have to record at a certain time. It’s an easy gig and one that people like to do.”
