Which actor is listed as the later voice of Dale Gribble in the revival era?

The story behind the answer

Toby Huss is listed as the later voice of Dale Gribble in the King of the Hill revival era.

Johnny Hardwick originated Dale’s voice and remained the character’s principal performer through the original thirteen seasons. Hardwick also recorded material for the revival before his death in 2023. Toby Huss subsequently took over the role in later season 14 episodes, making him the later voice associated with Dale in the Hulu era.

The handoff can cause confusion because the revival did not simply erase Hardwick’s contribution. His recorded performance appears in early material, while Huss voices Dale from later episodes, including the third and eighth episodes onward as reflected in the series’ cast listings. The exact transition is therefore more nuanced than saying Huss replaced Hardwick from the first episode.

Stephen Root voices Bill Dauterive, Dale’s friend, and Ronny Chieng and Breckin Meyer play other characters in the wider franchise. Toby Huss is also known for voicing other King of the Hill characters, including Cotton Hill and Joe-Jack.
