For several years, Foster acted as the host of A critical roleappearing on the talkback show It’s Machina speaking, several one-offs and side campaigns, and numerous spin-off shows. The only shot of Foster found on A critical role YouTube Now is his brief appearance at the start of a handful of live shows he hosted during the Mighty Nein campaign.
Foster is not the first bad actor A critical role had to deal with. The earliest episodes of A critical role introduces Orion Acaba as the eighth member of Vox Machina. However, disagreements and personal reasons led to the actor being removed from the show, to the extent that his character was completely deleted from The Legend of Vox Machina show and other retellings of the campaign’s early history. However, the actual episodes featuring Acaba are still available on Geek and Sundry YouTube and are linked to the official one A critical role website.
Most fans agree that this situation is extremely unfortunate. Still, much of what Foster appeared in was fun and worthwhile.
