Lost ‘Only Fools and Horses’ Scene Surfaces 29 Years Later with Signed Script
A ‘lost’ scene from a classic Only Fools and Horses episode has emerged 29 years later. It was written into the script of the 1996…
Just days after his shocking murder, new details have surfaced about the final public appearance of King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss.
The actor was best known for voicing John Redcorn in Fox’s animated series King of the Hill, and for playing Chief Ken Hoate in Parks and Recreation.
He was just 59 years old when he was shot and killed, allegedly after an altercation by a neighbor he had been feuding with, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja.
Joss already had a rough year, with his San Antonio house burning down in January, losing his home and two of his three dogs, with the final pooch still missing.
He told KSAT that he was having issues with the electricity, and he was using a propane heater to keep the house warm, though he hinted that maybe, ‘somebody may have come in and did something, who knows.’
Just two days before his death, Joss also made headlines for crashing a King of the Hill panel at the ATV TV Festival in Austin, Texas, with Variety revealing new details about his uninvited appearance.

The ATX panel was meant to celebrate the show’s new reboot, debuting August 4 on Hulu, with creators Mike Judge (who voices Hank Hill and Boomhauer) and Greg Daniels joined by three voice actors – Pamela Adlon (Bobby Hill), Toby Huss (Dale Gribble) and Lauren Tom (Connie).
Variety’s Michael Schneider moderated the panel, revealing it was supposed to be a ‘small gathering,’ which is why Joss wasn’t invited to be on the panel.
Schneider added that Joss was, ‘quite miffed’ about his exclusion from the panel, and took matters into his own hands, leaving his seat in the audience and approaching the microphones set up for the audience Q&A, but they were not yet turned on.
When Toby Huss was speaking about writer and voice actor Johnny Hardwick, the original voice of Dale Gribble before Huss replaced him, Joss walked to the mic, as Daniels gave him an impromptu introduction as the voice of John Redcorn to the crowd.
‘You were talking about Johnny, and I want to say something about him. This young man said I couldn’t stand over there. I guess he didn’t know that my land’s already gone. He said the mic wasn’t going to be used. And I’m an actor. I see a mic, I use it. I see a wrong, I make it right. I want to breathe,’ Joss said.
He added, ‘Our house burned down three months ago,’ as Schneider recalled someone in the audience yelled out, ‘Dammit Bobby!’ before Joss added that his house burned down, ‘Because I’m gay.’
Schneider added that the panel was ‘frozen’ and the audience was unclear how to react, with one panelist letting out an, ‘Uh,’ as Joss responded, ‘What? You’re doing the same thing, sir. The mind’s full of emotion. And real.’
He then finally spoke about Johnny Hardwick, stating, ‘Johnny, he gave you guys a character, because he is that character. He is that person.’

Judge re-introduced Joss as the voice of John Redcorn, at which point Joss walked away from the microphone and past the stage, of his own accord, with Schneider mentioning he wasn’t escorted away by security.
After the panel backstage, Schneider revealed the panelists all agreed it was the ‘right thing’ to let him speak and not involve security, though the audience Q&A was skipped after Joss’ interruption.
He called the interruption, ‘jarring,’ with Schneider debunking reports that he was upset because he wasn’t in Season 14 (he was upset because he wasn’t on the panel) and insisted security didn’t stop him from speaking, like others have suggested.
Neighbors told TMZ that the city shut off the power to Joss’ home because it was deemed ‘unsafe and uninhabitable.’
Joss’ neighbors also claimed that the house went up in flames because Joss used a BBQ pit to keep the home warm.
The actor’s widow Tristan Kern de Gonzales claimed he was murdered after they were ‘harassed’ for two years by ‘openly homophobic’ individuals who ‘did not accept our relationship.’
‘When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress,’ the South Carolina native recalled on Facebook.
‘While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.’

The report from the San Antonio Police Department obtained by DailyMail.com states Ceja uttered ‘I shot him’ as he was detained by arresting officers.
New details about the run-up to the violent crime have also emerged via the report, with a unnamed witness stating they drove Joss from Austin to his burned down San Antonio home around 7pm on June 1 to check his mail.
The witness said she pulled up and parked in the driveway while she waited for Joss and another witness to check the mail. Joss’ husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales has claimed he was with the actor on this trip and during the murder.
