[quote:Anonymous Coward 76892169:MV80NDM4NDg0XzgwNzk1NDc5X0I3RTNBNjdG] Neither show has been good in about 13 years. They should just stop. [/quote]
Original Message
In a big shift, the producers of The Simpsons say they'll no longer use white actors to play characters of color on the long-running animated series. Additionally, one of the principal voice actors on Family Guy says he'll stop playing the show's main Black character.
"Moving forward, The Simpsons will no longer have White actors voice non-White characters," the show said in a statement Friday.
Mike Henry, who has been with Family Guy since its beginnings, wrote on Twitter Friday that he'll stop voicing Cleveland Brown on the show.
