Teen Titans Go! Star Greg Cipes Claims Wrongful Termination Following Parkinson’s Diagnosis

A Voice Acting Legend’s Unexpected Exit

Greg Cipes, who has been the voice of Beast Boy since Teen Titans’ original debut in 2003, has been a cornerstone of the incredibly popular DC animated franchise, which has produced nine seasons and a feature-length film. The series has featured the same consistent voice cast for its main characters, including Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, and Tara Strong alongside Cipes.

Recent Developments

In March 2025, Cipes publicly revealed his diagnosis with early-onset Parkinson’s disease. The situation has since evolved into a controversy as the voice actor is now seeking fan support to help him reclaim his role as Beast Boy, with claims that Warner Bros. ‘discriminated’ against him due to his condition.

According to Cipes, he was terminated on Valentine’s Day following his public disclosure of the diagnosis. However, sources close to the situation present a different perspective, indicating that the decision was based on performance issues rather than his health condition. These sources claim that producers offered Cipes an alternative role and began negotiations for a development deal to maintain his involvement. The actor has reportedly already recorded several scripts for this new character, with development deal discussions ongoing.

Fan Response and Future Implications

The situation has sparked significant fan engagement, with DC superfans rallying to support Cipes. A petition is being organized to advocate for his return to the role. According to reports, the studio is considering replacing Cipes with a voice actor who sounds similar to him.

As Teen Titans Go! prepares to enter its tenth season this fall, the controversy continues to unfold. The situation remains fluid, with fans and industry observers closely monitoring developments regarding Cipes’ role with the show.
