A voice actor who played a minority character in “Family Guy” said he’s leaving the role after 20 years while “The Simpsons” producers said no white actors would be allowed to voice nonwhite characters.

“Moving forward, ‘The Simpsons’ will no longer have white actors voice nonwhite characters,” producers said in a statement Friday.
