The New Voice Of Carl Carlson On “The Simpsons ” Is…

Nicolas Cage may have almost been “Frank Grimes” which is a role that went to Hank Azaria, but now Hank Azaria secedes one of his roles.

Alex Desert(Mr. Pickles) takes over for Hank Azaria as the voice of “Carl Carlson” starting this Sunday Night on FOX. The news comes as the show looks to replace all of it’s characters voiced by white actors in favor of BIPOC actors which was part of a wave of changes made by other white actors who had stepped down as a show of support for the “black lives matters” movement.

In Sunday’s episode of The Simpsons entitled “The Undercover Burns”,Mr. Burns goes under cover as “Fred” at the nuclear power plant and becomes friends with Homer and the gang; Burns implements all sorts of amenities to improve his employees’ lives, but a jealous Smithers plots to bring the old, bitter Burns back.
