Toby Huss, the voice of Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone in the original run of the animated comedy King of the Hill, has taken on the role of conspiracy theorist Dale Gribble, originally voiced by the late Johnny Hardwick. Huss' return to the show was filled with emotions, as the cast was still sad about Hardwick's passing. However, Huss was able to infuse his own touches into the role, staying true to Hardwick's creation while adding his own unique flavor. The recording process has changed, with the cast now recording individually, but they still maintain a strong connection and friendship.
Huss credits the show's timelessness to its 'kindness' and sincerity, noting that it's not a political show and rarely makes a political point. The revival pays homage to the original run, continuing storylines like Nancy and John Redcorn's affair, which Dale is still unaware of. Huss speculates that Dale will never find out, as he believes Nancy would never stray from him. Huss has also appeared in other notable shows, such as Widow's Bay and Chad Powers, and is optimistic about the future of The Four Seasons on Netflix.
Huss is excited about the Emmy nominations for Widow's Bay, particularly for his co-star Stephen Root. He's also looking forward to Comic-Con, where he'll reunite with his fellow cast members. Overall, Huss is grateful for the opportunities and the strong connections he's made through his work in the entertainment industry.
