From Chevy Chase to Roseanne Barr, there have been numerous actors in recent years who have faced the consequences of their inadvisable and often downright offensive actions by being persuaded to leave the job, or fired.
Why Was Justin Roiland Replaced on ‘Solar Opposites’? Solar Opposites is an animated sitcom first created by Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan in 2020. The adult sci-fi series depicts a family of aliens who have landed on Earth and are forced to make it their home. As well as creating the series, Justin Roiland voiced Korvo, one of the main characters.
Although these charges were subsequently dismissed earlier in March this year, Solar Opposites still maintained its firm stance by casting Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens as Korvo. Furthermore, Roiland's history of questionable behavior further justified their decision to distance themselves from the actor-creator.
