“#’The Simpsons’ finds replacement to voice Carl after Hank Azaria’s exit<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Fans of \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d might notice one character sounds different in the Season 32 premiere Sunday.<\/p>\n

Carl Carlson, Homer Simpson\u2019s nuclear plant co-worker and Lenny Leonard\u2019s best friend, will not be voiced by Hank Azaria, at least in the season premiere episode.<\/p>\n

Carl will now be voiced by actor Alex D\u00e9sert, according to Variety<\/a>, although it\u2019s unclear whether this is a permanent replacement.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9sert, 52, also voices Swarm on Disney XD\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: Maximum Venom\u201d and Mr. Bojenkins on Adult Swim\u2019s \u201cMr. Pickles.\u201d He can also be seen in \u201cThe Flash,\u201d \u201cBecker\u201d and \u201cBetter Call Saul,\u201d and is the lead singer in the ska band Hepcat.<\/p>\n

The switch comes as producers for \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d said earlier this summer that it will no longer have white actors voice non-white characters. Azaria has been the voice of Carl, who is black, since the beginning of the show, except Carl\u2019s first app<\/a>earance, where he was voiced by Harry Shearer.<\/p>\n

Shearer previously said in an interview that he didn\u2019t exactly agree with the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe job of the actor is to play someone who they\u2019re not,\u201d he told Times Radio<\/a> in August, suggesting there was a \u201cconflation\u201d between representation and performance.<\/p>\n

The change might affect other recurring characters as well, including Dr. Julius Hibbert, who will appear in this episode but doesn\u2019t speak.<\/p>\n

Azaria, 56, was also known for voicing Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, a character that was criticized for its stereotypical depiction of a South Asian man. Azaria announced in January he would no longer voice Apu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Simpsons\u201d started an effort to make this change in recent years, with Kevin Michael Richardson of \u201cThe Cleveland Show\u201d often voicing the show\u2019s black male characters.<\/p>\n

The decision to have characters of color be voiced by actors of color came after the nation was dealing with controversial depictions of race on TV. Many television shows made similar decisions over the summer. Jenny Slate and Kristen Bell stepped away from voicing black and biracial characters, and other shows pulled episodes featuring blackface from streaming platforms.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
