And seriously?
You're telling me you couldn't have thrown the guy a guest spot in fifteen seasons of Supernatural?
They've had quite a few through all 15 seasons, they've all been predominantly evil (their characters), though. We got heroic black leads in the two backdoor pilots (season 9 and 13, "Bloodlines" and "Wayward Sisters" respectively), that were never seen again once the shows weren't picked up.
So, it might have been a good thing Carl Weathers never appeared on the show. But I'm not sure if they ever considered him or if he was even interested.

I'm reminded of when reports about a Gotham PD show was came out, TMS put out an article about WB not "reading the room". Never mind that such a show would be about how incompetent and corrupt the GCPD is or that such a show would focus on Renee Montonya and Crispus Allen.
In fact, I expect we'll soon be getting some hot takes about how we need to cancel those characters as well as John Stewart for being cops.
Gotta say that even the above being the reasoning behind both shows cancellation (that 2002 He-Man show was the bomb, an excellent modern retelling of an iconic animated series, that got canned far too soon, also), that's cold comfort considering what the shows were worth and would have been worth had they been allowed to continue and grow. And considering we haven't heard a peep out of Static Animation-wise in forever, sans what he got during Season 2 of Young Justice (his role is significantly diminished in Season 3) which itself has been a good while ago by now (and was just Virgil and none the people who became iconic along with him like his family, Richie/Gear, and all of the other people and antagonists he interacted with), it just feels like something should have been done harder to keep the Static Shock show afloat and running.
Frankly, we shoulda been done had multiple interpretations on the concept in animation. (Same for Jaime, who also should have had an animated series to himself that ran the gamut between mystical and extraterrestrial by now.)
