'Agent Elvis': The Truth Behind the Outrageous Animated Series

Netflix’s upcoming animated comedy series Agent Elvis depicts the King of Rock and Roll (voiced by Matthew McConaughey) as a gun-wielding, karate-kicking secret agent with a chimpanzee sidekick. Although it all sounds pretty outrageous, most elements of this premise are inspired by real events. Elvis did meet with President Richard Nixon and requested an official badge from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. In their meeting, he told Nixon he had been studying up on the dangers of drug culture and Communism, and wanted to help his country combat these evils. Presley was also a committed karate student and instructor, rising to the level of 8th degree black belt in 1974. And he did indeed have a pet chimpanzee named Scatter who had a tendency to terrorize Elvis’ family and friends.
