Dave Coulier won't be cut out of Netflix's planned "Full House" spinoff.

The Canadian actor and comedian announced his participation Thursday on Instagram along with some extra production news.

"Yes, I'll be on the Fuller House reunion. And this guy, Mark Cendrowski will be directing. #cutitout," Coulier wrote along with a photo of himself and Cendrowski.

Coulier starred on the series for its entire eight-season run on ABC from 1987-1995 as Joey Gladstone aka Uncle Joey to the show's three kids. A childhood friend of Danny Turner (Bob Saget), Joey joined the household to help his buddy raise his three daughters after their mother died. As a stand up comedian, Joey was often the source of fun impersonations including cartoon characters Popeye, Bullwinkle and Pepe LePew. His popular catchphrase was "cut it out."

After "Full House" ended, Coulier put his impersonation skills to good use in voice roles on animated series such as Adult Swim's "Robot Chicken,"  Cartoon Network's "Teen Titans" and Canadian series "Bob & Doug," among many others.

Cendrowski, who Coulier says will direct "Fuller House," has directed many comedies, including CBS's "The Odd Couple" and "Big Bang Theory," and Disney Channel's "The Wizards of Waverly Place."

A Netflix representative had no comment on Coulier and Cendrowski joining the show.

Who else is returning for the spinoff and who isn't? Here's BI's account of the show's castings so far:

According to Lori Loughlin, who played Jesse's wife Rebecca, Saget is in talks for the show.

Last year, Saget told People that a reunion show was "the farthest thing from my mind that exists." At the same time, he has made appearances with the other cast members in recent years.
