Martin and actor Jim Parsons of “Big Bang Theory” were there to demonstrate voice recordings for the DreamWorks movie “Home” about a civilization of aliens called “Boovs.” It’s scheduled for release in November of 2014.

“Hundreds of millions of people may never set foot in the U.S., but thanks to you they’ve experienced a small part of what makes our country successful,” Obama said. “We have shaped a world culture through you.”
“Can’t wait to see your next movie,” Obama added with a grin.
