Kristen Bell Jenny Slate Exit Animated Shows To Make Room For Black Actors To Play Their Roles
 Kristen Bell and Jenny Slate are helping lead the charge of making sure that when it comes to animated roles, Black or mixed race characters should be voiced by Black or mixed race actresses. Kristen has voiced the mixed race character of “Molly” on Apple TV+’s animated musical comedy Central Park, which just finished it’s first season. Should the streaming service order up a season two, Kristen will still be a part of the show, but feels an actress should match the character as she’s been drawn for audience. The 39-year-old said in a June 24 Instagram post that the voice of Molly should go to “someone who can give a much more accurate portrayal.”
