‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal
Roiland, whose exit from the Adult Swim series was announced in January in light of domestic abuse charges, had voiced the title characters since its 2013 launch.
Not exactly cleared,
i mean what is cleared then? they didnt have enough evidence so hes innocent
That’s not how it works…
In the course of all this, a lot of other shit came out that’s more than enough for him to lose his jobs over.
Everytime Kissinger is mentioned I have to think of this Anthony Bourdain quote:
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”
Bourdain is dead and that shit stain Kissinger is now over 100 years old. The world is not fair.
Legally
But not being proven guilty doesn’t mean someone was proven innocent, especially if a trial never happened.
Hell, OJ beat a trial, do you think that proved he didn’t kill his wife?
It’s entirely possible. However I am 100% certain the network would probably just cancel the show entirely before they let Justin Roiland back on the payroll.
He hasn’t contributed to the writing since like season w 2 or 3. I think it will probably be fine with a different voice actor
It’s pretty well documented at this point that Roiland didn’t even like doing the show anymore, and was basically just showing up for a paycheck by the later seasons.
Getting someone else who actually wants to be there and still loves the the show and the work it takes to make it will probably be better for everyone in my opinion.
Considering Solar Opposites got someone with a heavy British accent…
Saying it’s a “sound a like” is actually informative
they got Dan Stevens who was in Downton Abbey and Marvel’s Legion. I really like him, and from he two videos they’ve released so far, I think it’s gonna be just fine.
For anyone who's not aware, some of the "other shit" is an extensive series of screenshots of texts where he's soliciting sexual interactions with teenage girls. Such excerpts include:
Just so we're clear that this isn't a "petty jealous ex" kind of situation.
I'd read this article which came out when he was originally kicked off the show:
It doesn't sound like he'll be missed
By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.
The actual writing and content hasn’t really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn’t too jarring, odds are the average person won’t know or care and the show will be just fine.
Also his adlibs were almost never used and just sucked up recording booth time.
The show is legitimately better without him.
