Exactly. I've thought it about it a lot actually (sad as that sounds lol). I've put it down to this:

Either

- Ploszek's light voice clashed with the big & staunch aesthetic of this Leo.

- Knoxville has a naturally cartoonish voice. Maybe Ploszek sounded too much like a regular guy.

- Ploszek might've sounded too much like Ritchson (their speaking voices are really similar. But wouldn't that just make them sound more like brothers???).

- Knoxville can sound like a hardass when he wants to. Maybe Ploszek sounded too sissy during the action moments.

For all we know, they did try re-record with him & came to the agreement it just wasn't working. Either way, Ploszek's taken it like a champ. Only ONE interviewer has asked him how he felt & he replied “I like to think with the two of us, we built the best Leo we could.” What a legend. I really hope they let him do the voice for the sequel (assuming he does come back), continuity be damned.
