“#Harry Shearer no longer voicing black ‘Simpsons’ character<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Another white \u201cSimpsons\u201d voice actor has stepped down from lending his pipes to a character of color.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to The Wrap<\/a>, Harry Shearer, who is white, will no longer voice the black character Dr. Hibbert. He\u2019ll be replaced by Kevin Michael Richardson (\u201cBless the Harts\u201d) in next Sunday\u2019s episode, \u201cWad Goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shearer has voiced Springfield\u2019s most skilled doctor \u2014 in contrast to Hank Azaria\u2019s incompetent Dr. Nick \u2014 since 1990.\u00a0He also voices Ned Flanders and Principal Skinner, among other characters, and Fox confirmed to The Post that he will continue voicing the other roles. <\/p>\n

He joins Azaria, who last year announced that he\u2019d no longer voice the Indian character Apu \u2014 in part after a 2017 documentary, \u201cThe Problem with Apu,\u201d\u00a0brought attention to the subject.\u00a0Azaria still voices a wide range of characters on the show, such as Moe and Chief Wiggum. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Simpsons\u201d is far from the only animated series<\/a> to address this topic in recent months. <\/p>\n

After the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement over the summer of 2020 following the killing of George Floyd, \u201cFamily Guy\u201d actor Mike Henry, who is white, announced that he was stepping down from voicing the black character Cleveland. Arif Zahir has since taken over that role.<\/p>\n

On Netflix<\/a>\u2019s \u201cBig Mouth,\u201d Jenny Slate stepped down from voicing Missy \u2014 Ayo Edebiri has since taken over the role \u2014 and Apple TV+<\/a> series \u201cCentral Park\u201d re-cast bi-racial character Molly, who was originally voiced by Kristen Bell and is now done by \u201cUmbrella Academy\u201d star Emmy Raver-Lampman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Simpsons\u201d is currently in Season 32, airing Sundays at 8 p.m. on Fox.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
