JD Witherspoon and The Boondocks voice casting
With the death of John Witherspoon; many fans of The Boondocks series were wondering what they were going to do with his character. Witherspoon’s son JD Witherspoon sought out to audition for his late fathers role. Though through his own words, he will unfortunately not be voicing the character for number of reasons.
JD Witherspoon went through the casting audition for Robert Freeman’s voice and from what he said; at first things were going smoothly but then things started to go south. The casting director started doing very unususl
things from taking too long to respond to his emails to saying that he’s a shoe in, only to give the role to someone else.
Also according to him the casting people are planning to trying to artificially emulate John Witherspoon’s voice. This is all very unfortunate because as a huge Boondocks fan I was looking forward to this remake. I personally believe that having JD do his father’s character would’ve been the best decision they made surrounding this situation. Do I still look forward to the reboot? Now, not so much after hearing about what JD was put through. We will more than likely get news about who will do his voice in the near future. How about y’all? Are you still looking forward to the remake or has this killed your hype as well, let me know! Link to his video down below!
