The new voice actor to play Cleveland Brown probably won't skip a beat.

... and others. In case you didn't catch it -- that's THREE characters in the MacFarland-verse that Zahir can pull off no problem -- and he could probably do Peter just as easily. So, if Seth was ever sick during a recording day, Arif could potentially fill in.

The point is ... the dude's a catch-all talent, and Henry himself acknowledged as much. He says of the casting,"I welcome Arif to the Family Guy team. Arif’s vocal talent is obvious, but his understanding of Cleveland and his respect for the character give me confidence that he is in the right hands." He adds,"I look forward to getting to know Arif and working with him to make sure Cleveland stays every bit as awesome as he has always been.

Arif himself said he was eternally grateful for the opportunity, and promised fans not to let them down. The change comes on the heels of several animated shows -- including"The Simpsons" -- committing to casting actors of color for roles that coincide with their race.

His Cleveland is pretty spot on

Dudes bad ass..

Once again Who? Now follow me

Wow he sound just like him

My n word lol

I’m going to say it , so the white actor no longer want to be the voice for a black cartoon character so he step down so a black voice actor can do the very same voice of the white voice actor, who was pretending to speak like a black man... am I the only one hearing this

I really hate Hollywood, every person that gets his values from Hollywood needs professional help.

Ayyyyeeee

Was the Cleveland show ever good..

Why? Another stupid 2020 thing!

''Family Guy' showrunners have found their new Cleveland Brown voice -- it's a YouTuber who can handle the role with ease, and probably a few others on the show too.' Sounds so much better.

Everyone said doing impressions was a waste of time...look who’s laughing now

But is he single tho?

No thanks

W

The impressionist himself is actively playing the role as the character 😂

This mf sounds the same as the old one 💀
