“The Office,” “Family Guy,” and “The Simpsons” are the latest television shows to make changes amid the nation’s ongoing protests regarding systemic racism and police brutality.
Mike Henry, who voiced Cleveland Brown on “Family Guy” for two decades, announced on Twitter he would step down from the role. Henry announced his decision following reports that Jenny Slate and Kristen Bell would no longer voice Black characters on Netflix’s “Big Mouth” and Apple TV+’s “Central Park,” respectively.
As for “The Simpsons,” which has been the subject of criticism since 2017’s “The Problem With Apu,” the show’s producers announced on Friday that white actors will no longer portray non-white characters. Hank Azaria, who portrayed Apu on the show, announced he would no longer voice the character on the series earlier in the year.
