| rdfs:comment | - Acting and voice acting can be a fickle thing, but sometimes what can be simply corrected with The Other Darrin will not be possible; we call that the Actor Existence Limbo. Actor Existence Limbo is when a Voice Actor worked on a series, but an incident caused the voice actor to be missing in action. Rather than replacing the VA, they make the character role unvoiced. So if the series requires voice acting, that person will go unvoiced or worse, an NPC if it was a game. Note that this does not extend to folks who are deceased or retired as they will simply find a replacement VA rather than kill them off, although not always.

| abstract | - Acting and voice acting can be a fickle thing, but sometimes what can be simply corrected with The Other Darrin will not be possible; we call that the Actor Existence Limbo. Actor Existence Limbo is when a Voice Actor worked on a series, but an incident caused the voice actor to be missing in action. Rather than replacing the VA, they make the character role unvoiced. So if the series requires voice acting, that person will go unvoiced or worse, an NPC if it was a game. Note that this does not extend to folks who are deceased or retired as they will simply find a replacement VA rather than kill them off, although not always. In video games however, this can be simply dealt with by making a character unvoiced and an NPC. One of the reasons why an Actor will be placed in limbo rather than replacing them is due to potential of bad publicity. Affairs can be called out by the press, possible grudges can happen between both sides. Simply put, an AEL can be harmful to those who enjoyed the actor. When the character is plain killed off due the Actor Existence Limbo becoming too much, it becomes a case of McLeaned. When the network does this, it is a Role Ending Misdemeanor.
