Sam Riegel announced that he is recovering from cancer in a new video.
Critical Role 's Sam Riegel is recovering from a form of cancer. Today, Critical Role posted a video from Riegel in which he informed fans that he was recovering from oropharyngeal carcinoma, a type of cancer that affects the tongue, tonsils, and soft palate. Riegel revealed that he underwent surgery to remove the cancer that resulted in the removal of his tonsils, a part of his tongue, and a part of his soft palate, and left Riegel with a 7-inch scar on his throat.
— Critical Role July 8, 2024 Part of the reason why Riegel posted a video about his diagnosis was to raise awareness of the HPV vaccine, which was developed in the early 2000s and is now regularly given to pre-teens. HPV can cause several types of cancer, including cervical cancer in women and oropharyngeal carcinoma in men. Because it's a relatively new type of vaccine, many adults have not been given the HPV vaccine despite its effectiveness.
Riegel hadn't been present for several months of Critical Role programming after the in-world death of his character Fresh Cut Grass, who had sacrificed themselves to kill a longtime foe in the current campaign. Riegel returned in the most recent episode with a new character Braius Doomseed, a paladin/bard devoted to the evil god Asmodeus.
