Mitchel Musso, the voice actor for Jeremy, has been removed by Disney from Phineas and Ferb Season 5. Jeremy is the love interest of Candace, and his appearances have been significantly reduced in this latest season. He appears to have been replaced by a new actor, which has raised suspicions among fans regarding the reasons behind Musso’s departure.
So, here are details on why Musso was let go and who voices Jeremy now.
Why Disney fired and replaced Mitchel Musso’s Jeremy in Phineas and Ferb Season 5
Disney hasn’t provided an official reason for replacing Mitchel Musso as Jeremy in Phineas and Ferb Season 5.
However, his firing seems to be connected to his legal troubles. He was arrested and charged with DUI at the age of 20 in 2011. At the time, he was also let go from Pair of Kings. He was then replaced by Adam Hicks, who was reportedly known to play a new long-lost brother. Although Disney made a public move by replacing him, they didn’t release any official statement about his firing.
Since then, he hasn’t returned to any Disney-related projects; however, he did so some years later. He became associated with projects like Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy’s Law. However, another charge of public intoxication and theft surfaced in 2023, which eventually led to his removal from future projects. Disney hasn’t publicly confirmed if their move to remove him from Phineas and Ferb was because of his legal issues.
