Just a few months before the premiere of the revival of King of the Hill on Hulu, its actors and crew are mourning the loss of one of their stars: Jonathan Joss. He was 69 years old when, reportedly, he was shot multiple times. The news of the late voice actor’s death became known on June 2, 2025, a day before the alleged shooting incident near his home in Texas.
Several sources reported that Joss (real name: Jonathan Joss Gonzalez) was involved in the alleged shooting in San Antonio.
Below, Hollywood Life has gathered facts about Joss, his career, and his death.
From season 2 to season 13, Joss voiced the role of John Redcorn, a character originally voiced by actor Victor Aaron after his death in a car accident in 1996.
In addition to the popular animated series, Joss also had minor roles in other TV shows, including Walker, Texas Ranger, The Wild Thornberrys, Charmed, ER, In Plain Sight, Friday Night Lights, Parks and Recreation, and Tulsa King, according to his IMDb profile.
According to Variety, Joss had already recorded lines for John Redcorn in the revival of King of the Hill, which is set to premiere this summer on August 4, 2025, on Hulu and Disney+ with Hulu.
On June 1, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas, police were called in response to a shooting that occurred around 7:00 PM local time, according to Variety. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Joss by the roadside after he had been shot multiple times. Authorities attempted to resuscitate him, but the voice actor was pronounced dead at the scene before medics arrived.
The person who shot Joss — presumably his neighbor — fled the scene in a car, but was later apprehended just one block away by the police, Variety reports.
According to his IMDb profile, Jonathan was married to his wife Lori
