Concept
Dale Gribble
Résumé
Dale Alvin Gribble is a fictional character in the Fox animated series King of the Hill, voiced by Johnny Hardwick. He is an exterminator, bounty hunter, entrepreneur, chain smoker, gun fanatic, and paranoid believer of almost all conspiracy theories and urban legends.
Daniel Stern was originally offered the role of Dale Gribble, but was not offered enough money. Stephen Root also auditioned for the role, but later stated that "it didn't feel right". The role was eventually given to Johnny Hardwick.
Dale had been estranged from his father, Bug Gribble, since he witnessed Bug kissing Dale's wife, Nancy, on the lips on their wedding day. In truth, Bug only kissed Nancy to hide his homosexuality as he was nearing a kiss with a Filipino caterer. When Dale entered the room, Bug, afraid of his son possibly rejecting him because of his sexuality, panicked and reached for the nearest female, not realizing that it was Nancy until the damage was done. Dale did not learn the truth until 20 years later, when Hank, Dale, Boomhauer and Bill went to his father's gay rodeo to invite Bug to Dale's second wedding to Nancy. They find Bug and meet his lover, Juan-Pedro. Bug eventually reveals the truth to Dale and by the end of the episode Dale and Bug reconcile. Dale's mother is deceased, according to the episode "Bobby on Track".
Although highly suspicious of the government and of other people, Dale is unaware (although everyone else knows) that his wife Nancy had an affair with John Redcorn for nearly 15 years and that his son, Joseph (who strongly resembles Redcorn), is not his biological son. Dale never learned of the affair throughout the run of the series. The closest he has ever come to learning about it is in the episode where Peggy wanted to tell him, but she decided not to after seeing Dale and Joseph's relationship. John Redcorn even told Dale in the episode "Hank Gets Dusted" that he cheated with Hank's best friend's wife for 13 years, and Dale just thought he was talking about Bill's wife, Lenore; he never questioned what Redcorn said.
