That's pretty much what I just said. Sam pretty much came back for All-Stars because of Brian Froud. Even though Harold's inclusion would make more sense, they need a TDRI newbie to even out the obvious 7-7 ratio the writers were going for being the classics(TDI-TDWT) and the newbies(TDRI). Brick could have easily have worked out then. He ranked higher than Sam(even if it's by one ranking) and he's probably one of the most heroic TD players in the history of the show. If not for this "voice actor thing", Brick would have easily made the cut. Why they couldn't get back Owen besides the ratio thing, could probably stem on the fact Scott McCord wasn't available at the time yet had some time for the finale.
