Hank Azaria has opened up about playing Indian character Apu on The Simpsons.
“A 17-year-old … he’s never even seen The Simpsons but knows what Apu means.
“I was speaking at my son’s school, I was talking to the Indian kids there because I wanted to get their input,” Azaria said.
Apu was also the subject of a 2017 documentary film by comedian Hari Kondabolu titled The Problem with Apu, which explored the real-life repercussions of the character’s existence.
