After the Adult Swim series premiered in 2013, fans became invested in the story of a scientist named Rick Sanchez and his 14-year-old grandson Morty Smith. Although the two main characters are always the most popular, actors often lend their talents to a few episodes each season, which makes quirky Rick and curious Morty's adventures even more fun.
Jack Black's video game appearances prove that he's a versatile actor who can act in projects beyond comedic movies. A few episodes before the engaging and exciting Rick and Morty season 6 finale, Jack Black's Rick and Morty character appears briefly but makes a big impression.

The two main characters meet Jack Black's Rick and Morty character after Morty ends up on the Sun after he and Rick meet knights at a sandwich shop. After Morty wins a battle against King of the Sun and is crowned the new leader, the two go back home only to realize that the planets are fighting. Lithdor isn't sure that Morty should be the King of the Sun and the two experience conflict. Rick and Morty's memorable spaceship allows them to explore a lot of the world, and this plotline shows that sometimes, they might want to stay home instead of being so curious.
Jack Black's Rick and Morty character is an important part of this season 6 episode. He stands up to Rick and Morty's presence on the Sun and ensures that their victory won't be easy, which makes for a more compelling storyline. Lithdor correctly believes that Morty's intimate parts aren't real, which forces Rick and Morty to race home before being caught. The episode does a solid job of continuing Rick and Morty's quirky tone. Just like The Talking Cat in the animated series, the fact that the TV series has an episode about knights living on the Sun is fun and entertaining.
"A Rick in King Mortur's Mort" may include dirty jokes thanks to Jack Black's Rick and Morty character, but it's also a testament to the direction that the creative team behind the popular show wanted to go in. As producer James Siciliano said in an interview with Inverse:
"It’s a really exciting season. There’s tons of family drama with huge sci-fi concepts. It’s got a nice mix of family and dumb, fun sh*t this season."
Which Other Actors Had Cameos In Rick And Morty Season 6?
Several other actors had cameos in season 6 of Rick and Morty. Daniel Radcliffe played a knight of The Sun in the same episode as Jack Black's Rick and Morty cameo. His character talks about the religion that the King follows. Many of Radcliffe's movie characters are different from Harry Potter and that includes this one, who is much goofier and sillier.
Other cameos included Will Forte as Eugene Michael Piss and Peter Dinklage as Chan, who runs a group of evil aliens. Perhaps the most exciting was Lisa Kudrow asTyrannosaurus Rex God.
Thanks to celebrity cameos like Jack Black's Rick and Morty character Lithdor and storylines that see the two main characters getting into mischief, Chris Parnell and Sarah Chalke told Newsweek that they loved season 6. Parnell and Chalke voice Jerry and Beth Smith, Morty's dad and mom. Parnell said:
"It's an exploration of the family dynamics and relationships in the multiverse, and all that is possible there."
The Best Rick And Morty Cameos
