*Branch in Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Trolls: TrollsTopia.
He had auditioned for the role of Branch on Trolls: The Beat Goes On! before Trolls had ever been released and had a few clips of Justin Timberlake for reference. He was told that the clips are not important as he wasn't trying to match the role. Apparently, Astin tried to match the performance of Justin Timberlake with his role as Branch, until he was told by Matthew Beans that he doesn't necessarily have to do so. He was told to act as "Skylar would do" and the performance was based on performance and comedy. He later developed his own performance of Branch and admitted he does not know how Timberlake's Branch acts, though often worries about his performance whenever he hears clips of Branch from the movies with no idea if he sounds like Timberlake's Branch, knowing only his Branch and how his being written to. He noted they developed their own version of the character.https://www.thewrap.com/skylar-astin-trollstopia-branch-justin-timberlake-trolls-role/amp/
