RIP Johnny Hardwick (Dale in King of the Hill)

Quote:
Johnny Hardwick, known for playing Dale Gribble on "King of the Hill," has died.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they were called to Hardwick's Texas home Tuesday for a welfare check and discovered his body. We're told Hardwick was pronounced dead at the scene ... and no foul play is suspected. We don't yet know the cause of death.

Off. This one is a gut punch. I watch a ton of KotH reruns and I often think about the voice actors that have passed on since the end of the show's run.

Off the top of my head, the deceased regulars are now Brittany Murphy, Tom Petty, and Hardwick.

Without that many members of the original cast, I REALLY don't want a series revival.

That said, R.I.P Mr. Dale. You tried to warn us all.

This really sucks, Hardwick was a core part of what made King of the Hill so great.

That said, I hope they continue with the revival series. Recasting a voice actor shouldn't be such a controversial event, I think most actors would understand.

Is King of the Hill still on the air?
I would watch it when I caught it - it was a solid show. But I haven't seen it in years.

Cartoon Network airs four episodes in a row to lead off their Adult Swim block.

Hm. I feel like I want to go on a binge-watch of this show now. It's been a while....
