Hank Azaria wants to apologize to every person of Indian descent for his past portrayal of "The Simpsons" character, Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

The character, who runs the local Kwik-E-Mart in Springfield and was voiced by Azaria beginning in 1988, became the subject of controversy in 2017 when comedian Hari Kondabolu released the documentary "The Problem With Apu." The documentary sparked a conversation about whitewashing, racist voice casting and the negative impact the character has had on the perception of Indian people in America.

In an interview with The New York Times in 2020, Azaria said he had stepped away from voicing the character as the show in general began to remedy having White actors voice non-White characters.
