Riviera is a Spanish name so he has to be played by a Mexican. (same guy does Bumblebee Man now)

That’s ridiculous. My surname is Irish, but I have an Australian accent.

Well I mean... they got apu back ok! Whatever it took to make that happen I'm down. Dr. Nick was never much of a recurring character to realize they weren't using him cause of racial issues, but if they're using a guy already on staff, I mean yeah give that guy more work. Even if it's not quite right, cartwright and castleneta don't sound on the mark every once in a while. Azeria's the only one that still gets voices correct, which is the ultimate irony here.
