In the trailer for Muppets Most Wanted, Dominic's business card was altered with different phone numbers and a unique website URL.
Calling the number shown on the card in the trailers played a recording of Dominic (voiced by Gervais) asking the caller to leave a message and directing them to visit his website — BadguyTalent.com.
The website offered visitors the chance to win a trip to the Muppets Most Wanted World Premiere in Los Angeles by applying to be represented by Badguy Talent Management. As of 2015, the website is no longer online.
Trivia
Dominic claims that his last name is French for "Good man". However, the actully term for 'good man' in French is 'homme de bien.'
Ricky Gervais, who played Dominic, made a previous cameo in The Muppets, but his scene was cut. However he did appear at the end of the movie dancing during the song "Life's a Happy Song."
