On 2/23/21 at 4:47 AM EST
Dr. Julius Hibbert, Springfield s resident doctor, has been played by white actor Harry Shearer for over 20 years, but his run as the character is coming to an end.
The Simpsons has confirmed that the recent Mrs. Krabappel tribute episode Diary Queen will be Shearer s final voice appearance as Dr. Hibbert, and a new actor will take over for the Sunday, February 28 episode of the Fox show. The actor, however, will still very much be a part of
The Simpsons voice cast, as he is also the man behind characters like Mr. Burns, Principal Skinner and Ned Flanders.
