Sanaa and Nia Long's gripes about landing decent roles as black women in Hollywood has paid off...kind of. The two actresses along with actor Kevvin Richardson have been added as voice talent for the upcoming Family Guy spinoff Cleveland. The African American pal of Family Guy's Peter Griffin moves with his son to Stoolbend, Virginia and shacks up with his high school sweetheart Donna, voiced by Sanaa Lathan. Nia Long will voice Donna's unruly teen daughter Roberta. In perhaps the most interesting casting decision, black actor Kevin Richardson has signed on to voice white redneck Lester, who is Cleveland's next door neighbor. As previously reported, Cleveland is voiced by the show's executive producer Mike Henry, who is white. Kinda scary, right?
Lathan will be seen next in Wonderful World. Long was recently in the feature Are We Done Yet? and last season's ABC drama Big Shots.
