3	Mark Justin Roiland (born February 21, 1980) is an American voice actor, animator, writer, producer, and director. He is best known as the co-creator and former executive producer of the Creator/AdultSwim animated series ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', in which he voiced both of the show's eponymous characters in the first six seasons.

5	Before ''Rick and Morty'', Roiland created multiple animated shorts for ''Website/Channel101'' and was the voice of Oscar on Creator/DisneyXD's ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks''. He also voiced Earl of Lemongrab on ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Chris on ''WesternAnimation/OutThere'', Blendin Blandin on ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', Doop Doop on ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', Clumpy in ''Film/{{Krampus}}'', Doug Cheston on ''WesternAnimation/{{Invincible\|2021}}'', and the Ice Cube Head in ''Series/{{Community}}'''s [[Recap/CommunityS6E13EmotionalConsequencesOfBroadcastTelevision series finale]].

7	He also created (and, until 2023, starred in) ''WesternAnimation/SolarOpposites'' for Creator/{{Hulu}} and has a video game called ''VideoGame/TroverSavesTheUniverse'', developed by Squanch Games, a video game development studio he co-founded. As of 2023, he has also written for the animated anthology series ''WesternAnimation/TheBoysDiabolical'', created the TV special ''WesternAnimation/ThePaloniShow!HalloweenSpecial!'' and the video game ''VideoGame/HighOnLife'' (another Squanch Games production), as well as executive produced the animated series ''WesternAnimation/KoalaMan''.

9	In January 2023, Roiland was charged with two counts of domestic abuse stemming from a 2020 incident with an unnamed woman whom he was allegedly dating. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and had been expected to face trial beginning April 27. This incident caused Adult Swim to dismiss Roiland, with ''Rick and Morty'' planning to recast his roles starting with season 7. Hulu later did the same, announcing that ''Solar Opposites'' and ''Koala Man'' will be produced without him going forward. Also, Squanch Games announced that he had resigned from the studio shortly after the Adult Swim announcement. The charges were dropped on March 22 due to a lack of evidence.

11	However, before that, multiple people in and outside the industry [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/justin-roiland-animation-empire-implosion-rick-and-morty-1235319366/ had come forward with allegations against Roiland]] ranging from unprofessional behavior in the workplace to sexual harassment, and that he had barely been creatively involved in making many shows to which his name was attached apart from his voice work. More accusations of sexual misconduct [[https://www.cbr.com/justin-roiland-denies-inappropriate-behavior/ came later in 2023]]. In a September 2023 interview, his ''Rick and Morty'' co-creator Creator/DanHarmon said that [[https://www.cbr.com/rick-and-morty-dan-harmon-breaks-silence-justin-roiland/ the two hadn't even talked since 2019]].

13	!! Tropes associated with Justin Roiland's roles
14	* NoIndoorVoice: A lot of his roles involve him shouting a lot. This is even lampshaded in ''Gravity Falls'' when Blendin is muted.
15	* SignatureStyle: Justin Roiland's works feature incongruous BlackComedy and loose-rambling improv. Characters' irises will also be ink blots instead of clean circles.
16	* SpecialGuest: He appeared in Creator/JoelHaver's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpQ_xDMJJ04 Sand Planet]]" as a disgruntled Uncle Owen and a suicidal droid.
