Los Angeles, California – The controversy surrounding actor Ezra Miller has led to a significant change in the animated series “Invincible.” Miller’s role as the voice of District Attorney Sinclair in the show’s first season has been recast amid ongoing controversies related to the release of “The Flash.”
In the latest episode of season two titled “I’m Not Going Anywhere,” Eric Bauza now voices the character of the mad scientist, previously portrayed by Miller. This decision comes as Miller faces a series of legal issues and public scrutiny following a string of incidents over the past few years.
Known for his voice acting work in popular animated series such as “X-Men ’97,” “Krapopolis,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and “Rick & Morty,” Bauza takes on the role formerly held by Miller in “Invincible.” The shift in casting reflects the ongoing changes in the industry and the need to address controversies surrounding certain individuals.
Miller’s spokesperson and Prime Video, the platform airing “Invincible,” have been contacted for comment on the recasting and the reasons behind it. The decision to replace Miller with Bauza highlights the importance of accountability and professionalism in the entertainment industry, especially when sensitive issues arise.
The controversies surrounding Miller began in 2020 with a video showing them allegedly choking a fan outside a bar in Iceland. The actor subsequently faced legal troubles, including protective orders and arrests, which raised concerns about their behavior and mental health.
In a statement issued in 2022, Miller acknowledged their struggles with mental health and apologized for the distress caused by their past actions. The actor expressed a commitment to seeking treatment and working towards a healthier and more productive life moving forward.
As “Invincible” prepares to premiere the final episode of season two on April 4 on Prime Video, the spotlight remains on the show’s cast and the industry’s response to addressing controversies within its ranks. The recasting of Miller’s character reflects a broader shift towards accountability and transparency in Hollywood.
