King Of The Hill Revival Canceling Fan-Favorite Character?
Daniels expressed concerns about bringing Khan back for the King of the Hill revival at all, but stressed that if the character does return, he’ll certainly be replaced with a Laotian voice actor, in order to respectfully represent the character and his culture.
This is an issue that has plagued many animated series in recent years, including The Simpsons, which recently recast a number of characters, including Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Dr. Julius Michael Hibbert, and Carl Carlson as part of a push for inclusion and diversity. Other animated shows, such as Bojack Horseman and Family Guy have been the subject of controversy for hiring white actors to bring Vietnamese or black characters to life.
