“The Simpsons” will no longer use White actors to voice characters of color, the producers of the long-running animated television series announced Friday.
Similarly, a White actor who has provided the voice of a Black character on the animated series “Family Guy” for more than 20 years announced he would be retiring from that role.
Both announcements were made as the entertainment industry and others take action in response to rekindled calls for racial equality sparked by George Floyd’s killing last month.
“Moving forward, The Simpsons will no longer have white actors voice non-white characters,” the show said in a brief statement.
