God’s Gang, the production company behind animation series God’s Gang led by former Disney Channel executive Nimrod Avraham May announced its new voice cast for upcoming episodes, to be released online in early 2025.
Actor and autism awareness advocate Atticus Baldwin (The Wright Turn, House of Masks) will be seen in the upcoming episode of God’s Gang. God’s Gang is working with Atticus via Autism in entertainment, an organisation with the purpose of increasing employment opportunities for autistic talent in the entertainment industry.
Baldwin’s role in the series will be announced in the coming weeks, along with further updates on additional neurodiverse cast and characters, as the God‘s Gang studio continues with its commitment to promoting inclusivity. “I’m passionate about helping show people that any obstacle they face can be overcome. My character in God’s Gang fits perfectly with this and the series’ core message that the world needs more compassion, kindness and love is one that I hold closely. The desire to build greater inclusivity for neurodiverse people is a cause I care about deeply. Having the opportunity to spread that message to God’s Gang’s huge and growing audience is one I’m incredibly proud to have,” Baldwin said.
God’s Gang is created by May whose vision was brought to life by the team at Singapore-based VFX company Infinite Frameworks.
“This is a huge moment for God’s Gang. Atticus’s talent and advocacy for autism awareness align with our mission to truly make a difference in the world,” said God’s Gang’s creator May. “Through Autism in entertainment and working with talented neurodiverse professionals and creatives like Atticus, we are committing to fostering a new production industry standard that promotes inclusion, raises awareness, and creates pathways for people with different needs and backgrounds to showcase unique skills and talents. In the episodes, we are reflecting meaningful themes of identity and overcoming fear in a way that inspires and entertains. We are thrilled to welcome Atticus, Cathy and Lauren into the God’s Gang family.”
Irish actor, writer and director Cathy McAuley (Quantum Leap, Hard Time on Planet Earth, T.J. Hooker) also joins the voice cast.
