Carey Means, the Voice of Frylock, Faces Homelessness

Carey Means, who voiced Frylock in all 143 episodes of Adult Swim’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force, has gone public with a stark request. A Facebook post from the actor lays out the situation plainly. Rising rent has left him and his wife Leah Levin Means without the money to move or stay. The message reads, “Homeless! Please help!!” and directs followers to CashApp or PayPal.

The couple has been navigating money trouble for a while. In 2022, Means suffered a heart-related emergency, and the financial strain hasn’t let up. Two GoFundMe campaigns exist. One launched in 2025, another this February. Neither has reached its target. Means is also on Cameo, and the couple sells handmade autographed prints and Aqua Teen plushies through their website. It’s an awkward dynamic. A veteran of a beloved show, now hawking crafts on socials to keep a roof overhead.

This isn’t an isolated case. C. Martin Croker, who animated and voiced characters for Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Aqua Teen, died in debt at 54 back in 2018. Andy Merrill, the voice of Brak, was working as an Amazon driver just two years ago. The industry’s adoration for these cult figures didn’t bankroll their lives. Means’ most recent credit came in the 2026 independent film Oldburgh, where he played The Haggis. It clearly hasn’t been enough.

The situation tears off a polite veil. A voice, no matter how iconic, doesn’t pay the rent forever. The hard arithmetic of an unsteady career is now fully visible in a desperate Facebook post.
