He won't be recast, they will either kill him off, or resolve him some other way. Also, just because an actor says he wants to leave, doesn't mean he can't be sweet talked or monetary incentiviced to stay. Just thought I'd point that out. Finally, whoever said he didn't talk: Really? That's kind of the whole point of his character, he is mute. Kill him off? Says you. Nothing harmed him. And you don't know if he won't be recasted. And you know it. You have no proof of that right now. The only way they recast is if they explain the physical transformation as a side effect of being a tree (which I guess they could do, the explained Robin Hood's recast as a glamor spell). But their is no way they just recast him with no explaination, when he has been in over 30 episodes. Gaston was in one episode, and even then they did reshoots with the new actor for the recap. And the problem with even doing a recast with explaination is that still leaves issues when we do flashbacks. The only helpful thing is the dwarfs wear prostetic ears and noses, and so it could be okay as long as they never focused on Dopey's face.
