NEW YORK The Aflac duck is ready for its close-up.

The adventurous character, known for ads in which it quacks the company’s name, briefly appears in the upcoming Paramount film Lemony Snicket’s a Series of Unfortunate Events, a representative for Aflac confirmed.

To support the appearance, Aflac’s agency, Publicis Groupe’s The Kaplan Thaler Group in New York, has created a 30-second spot showing footage from the film in which the duck is tossed about on a ship during a storm.
