Boxtown addresses its decision to recast Tara Strong's role amid a recent controversy.
Boxtown and Bandit Mill Animation recently announced they were recasting Tara Strong as the lead character in the new animated project, and they have taken to social media to address the decision.
The statement from Boxtown and Bandit Mill Animation begins as such,"As some of you may have heard, Tara Strong is no longer involved with Boxtown or Bandit Mill Animation and will no longer be voicing the character of 'Bill the Orphan.' The decision was due to a trend among Tara's recent online activity, including posts that promote controversial messages regarding the peoples of Palestine currently being affected by the ongoing Isreal-Palestine crisis.
Following the initial announcement, Strong had the following to say about the recasting,"Just found out on twitter! This is what happens when you help fans get shows made I guess," Strong began."Fired for being Jewish. Glad I helped you get your kickstarter money. Please lose my email address & pray for my family in Israel and in Gaza."
Boxtown is now in the works, and Bandit Mill Animation teased the animated project as such on former Indiegogo page,"Set in a fictional, crime-ridden neon city, Boxtown is an adult animated show following Tim, a so-so detective with a knack for conning both clients and suspects alike, as he teams up with Bill, a squishable and earnest orphan obsessed with true crime.
