Jonathan is a typical 21-year-old human, backpacking his way across Europe in his continuing worldwide travels. He’s confident, full of life, talkative, curious and good-natured—not to mention amazing on a skateboard. His motto is “just roll with it.”
Now, in his wandering, he’s stumbled onto a hotel full of…monsters!? To help him blend in (and keep the monsters unaware of the security breach), hotelier Dracula (voice of Adam Sandler) disguises him as Johnnystein, Frankenstein’s supposed cousin. Drac’s plan backfires, however, when his daughter Mavis (voice of Selena Gomez) and ‘Johnnystein’ hit it off, and Jonathan ignores his earlier promise to Drac, to run at his first opportunity. Because hey, this monster thing is kind of cool – and he’s intrigued by a cute teenage vampire girl.
“Jonathan is pretty much based on who I was in high school, and on a lot of dudes I knew growing up in the Bay Area in California,” Samberg says. “He’s kind of a backpacker, really loves seeing the world, and super positive in the face of adversity, even maybe when he shouldn’t be.”
Samberg recently completed his seventh and final season as a cast member on TV’s “Saturday Night Live.”
