LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28 (UPI) — Carrie Fisher had completed work on two episodes of “Family Guy” and “Star Wars: Episode VIII” before her death on Tuesday.
Variety reported Fisher is set to appear on “Family Guy” in her recurring role as Angela, a supervisor to main protagonist Peter Griffen voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane at the brewery where he works.
Fisher first joined the long-running Fox animated series in 2005 and has previously voice Angela across 20 episodes.
MacFarlane offered his condolences on Twitter, writing, “Carrie Fisher was smart, funny, talented, surprising, and always a hell of a fun time to be around. ‘Family Guy’ will miss her immensely.”
