‘The Simpsons’ Ends White Actors Voicing Characters Of Color
In this file photo taken on February 14, 2012 Cartoonist Matt Groening, creator of “The Simpsons,” poses with his characters Bart and Homer Simpson as he is honored with the 2,459th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood. – The producers of The Simpsons, the world-famous animated series, announced June 26 that they will no longer use white actors to dub ethnic minority characters.
The character has long been seen as problematic and conveying racist stereotypes. Last January Azaria announced that, in agreement with producers, he was abandoning the role. The change will also affect the character of Dr Hibbert, a black man dubbed by the white actor Harry Shearer who also lends his voice to many other characters on the series — from Homer Simpson’s boss Mr Burns to the chirpy neighbor Ned Flanders.
