DC’s Stargirl Adds Seth Green in Recast
The almighty (if unpredictable) Thunderbolt may sound a bit different when he next materializes on DC’s Stargirl.
TVLine has learned that for Season 3 of the CW superhero team-up series, Robot Chicken co-creator and prolific voice actor Seth Green will help bring the pink, wish-granting genie to life.
Green thus succeeds Jim Gaffigan, who voiced Thunderbolt in a pair of Season 2 episodes in which Mike (played by Trae Romano) unwittingly conjured, met, and then labored to precisely guide the powerful imp.
In Stargirl‘s Season 2 finale, Mike and his friend Jakeem (Alkoya Brunson) brought Thunderbolt to the epic, downtown clash with Eclipso, where the genie ultimately turned the bested Big Bad into “toast” — as in a slice of charred bread. (He’s quite literal that way!)
In the wake of that team-up, Mike suggested to Jakeem that while Stargirl (aka stepsister Courtney), Wildcat et al continue on as the new JSA, they and Thunderbolt should create their own heroic “thing.”
Green’s myriad TV voice-acting credits include (but are far, far from limited to) Family Guy, the Guardians of the Galaxy TV series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
DC’s Stargirl is set to premiere its third season in the fall, airing Wednesdays at 8/7c (where it will lead into Kung Fu Season 3).

Seth gotta get a paycheck to recoup the money he wasted on NFTs
I hope he gets his monkey back.
“Mike suggested to Jakeem that while Stargirl (aka stepsister Courtney), Wildcat et al continue on as the new JSA, they and Thunderbolt should create their own heroic “thing.””
Wow… I don’t remember that… but I like it. Stargirl is a bright spot in the growing dim Arrowverse.
Kinda nervous about that when it was mentioned in the episode. I hope that doesn’t mean that it’s just a little team thing and not that Jakeem has to share the Thunderbolt with Mike as that would be total B.S!
hopefully that comes with a better budget for the character.
The VFX seems fine to me.
to me i liked james gandfolfgakis but i think seth green does fit this role better and oh unless people mentioned it you wouldn’t know he was leo in tmnt 2012, after they recast jason biggs and oh again the writers of the show i loved it they went right at the elephant in the room right out of the gate why does leo’s voice sound so diffrent and i lost it
I thought Gaffigan did fine, but I can see how Seth Green will better fit the “eternal child” personality that they seem to be writing for the Thunderbolt.
ive completely forgotten what season 2 was about its been so long.
Dude, it hasn’t even been six months
The season completed filming in March, so this is a post production thing?
Well, they weren’t actually filming Thunderbolt. 😁
