Original Cast of King of the Hill
The show has decided to rehire the cast that worked in the original King of the Hill series. This shows the respect they have earned throughout the 13 seasons of the series in the show. Moreover, Johnny Hardwick, who played the role of Dale Gribble, who was one of the talented voice artists in the group, has passed away. His role will be dubbed by Toby Huss due to the unfortunate loss. The original cast of The King of the Hill includes- Mike Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom, and Toby Huss, who have made the original one a success. Toby Huss will be recording the remaining 4 episodes of King of the Hill on behalf of Johnny Hardwick. Johnny had completed recording 6 episodes before passing away in 2023 which has reduced the load on Toby Huss.
