So, does Dale Gribble have a new voice actor? Yes, he does, but only for the rebooted episodes, and he’s played by Ben Schwartz. The original voice actor from the main series, Johnny Hardwick, walked away to chase other projects and maybe a few UFOs. And the bizarre truth is that the original original voice actor, Daniel Stern, was a goofy thief from Home Alone who couldn’t commit. It’s a beautiful, confusing mess—exactly the kind of conspiracy Dale himself would spend four hours explaining on a message board.
Just remember: if you hear Dale’s voice and it sounds a little too peppy, blame the raccoons. Or the government. They’re probably in on it anyway.
