Dan Stevens has been announced as the new lead voice actor for the animated series “Solar Opposites” on Hulu, replacing Justin Roiland. Roiland, who co-created the show, was fired earlier this year due to domestic violence charges. He was also removed from another Hulu animated series called “Koala Man.” However, the charges against Roiland were later dismissed in March.
