When the crew was designing characters, they said Gray basically had MBJ in mind for Julian Chase's "look", and then they thought... ''if he looks like MBJ, can't we just... cast MBJ?''

So they reached out to MBJ for the voice role, and he said yes. MBJ's executive producer-ship came most likely as a result of his Productions partially funding the show. (RT also funds it since they make it, I'd assume.)

Make no mistake, MBJ did not just "fund his way into the lead role."
