Nick Kroll is making some changes to the “Big Mouth” cast. The actor shared a statement to social media on Wednesday, revealing that he and his Netflix team will recast the role of Missy, voiced by Jenny Slate, and give the opportunity to a Black actor.
Slate, a white woman, has voiced Missy, a Black character, for all three seasons. Missy duties will now go to Black comedian Ayo Edebiri.
Slate will voice Missy, a Black character, for most of season 4 before handing the reigns to Edebiri in the season’s penultimate episode. “The transition is a nice farewell to Jenny in that moment, too, in a way,” Edebiri told Variety. “The voice I found is also because of the work Jenny did, too.” RELATED: Nick Kroll Perfects Jason Statham, Pitbull
