I don't think he's in the new show. I remember reading about him complaining about it recently. That's four actors gone from the original show now.

Recast him. Easy voice to do.

He’s apparently had a rough go of it the past year or so. His house burning down, disputes with the new KOTH revival and the crew kind of shunning him. I read he came to the panel Q&A they did a few days and asked some questions that made things a little tense and awkward.

ETA that panel did say he was in the new show, but made it sound like it was a very small role and not many episodes.

wow, that's crazy. i randomly went down a rabbit hole on that guy's life literally jsut a week or two ago because i saw some stuff on social media about how he wasnt asked to be in the new show because he is a nutcase. he was pissed about not being included at a recent reunion too and was ranting about it on social media.

Didn't it come out that he was not a good dude at all and people hated working with him?

I guess this proves it.

He was a great minor character on Parks

He's in the show. I hope they didn't make him too important to the story if the show sees success again.

The Curse of John Redcorn

The first actor, Victor Aaron, died early in the series' production. Now this happens with Joss.
