Toby Huss to take over the role of Dale on "King of the Hill"

Evidently, Hardwick was able to do voiceover work for six of the 10 episodes of the 14th season of the show. Of course, that leaves four episodes, not to mention any future seasons of "King of the Hill." Stepping into the shoes of Dale is Toby Huss. Huss has been lending his voice to Hank's father Cotton and the Hills' neighbor Kahn since the beginning of the show's run. He's also, apparently, an author, photographer, and artist.

Huss is an unsurprising, and also smart, choice to replace Hardwick. First of all, he was already in the cast, so all he had to do was add one more voice to his total. He's also a talented mimic on top of that, and actually first started finding professional success parodying Frank Sinatra. 

And, of course, for all the Millennials in the audience, we will note that Huss was also...

Artie, the Strongest Man in the World and Dale Gribble. Get you a man who can do both.
