Johnny Hardwick, known for playing Dale Gribble on "King of the Hill," has died.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they were called to Hardwick’s Texas home Tuesday for a welfare check and discovered his body. We’re told Hardwick was pronounced dead at the scene … and no foul play is suspected. We don’t yet know the cause of death.

    Since it’s a fast forward in the future they could give Dale throat cancer and one of those little hold it up to your throat things to talk.

      Lots of good ideas here, but the thing is, Dale wasn’t just a great voice, he was a masterfully delivered great voice. It will be easy to get a good sounding voice for Dale, but nigh impossible to imitate what Hardwick did with the delivery.

      Or just have Dale be Rusty Shackleford, like he finally pulled the trigger and committed to that identity.

      Wearing an obvious disguise and an obvious fake accent.

      But everyone still knows it’s Dale and treats him the same.
