I seem to remember that there was a casting call for new voice talent a few months ago. Any word on what became of that? Are the original actors coming back or did they hire new ones? ---

> [@Frazzled](#): > > I seem to remember that there was a casting call for new voice talent a few months ago. Any word on what became of that? Are the original actors coming back or did they hire new ones? All the original cast are coming back. The networks do this without fail with every animated series: Cast: We want a little more money to come back. Network: OMG FU! ANYBODY CAN SOUND LIKE ZOIDBERG! WE’RE GETTING SOMEONE ELSE! SEE? HERE’S OUR CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT! Cast: Whatever, bro. Network: OK here’s a modest raise. Cast: Thanks! ---
