Harry Shearer appears to criticize The Simpsons' decision to stop white actors from voicing people of color

The Daily Mail

Shearer, whose many voices on the Fox comedy include Black doctor Dr. Julius Hibbert, apparently spoke out against The Simpsons' announcement in June that only people of color will portray minority characters from now on. "I have a very simple belief about acting. The job of the actor is to play someone who they are not," Shearer said in an interview on Times Radio in the UK. "That's the gig, that's the job description."
