      Nancy Cartwright does the voice of Bart, Nelson, Todd Flanders, Ralph och Kearney, it's like two people making all the voices from simpsons. And Seth MacFarlane does the voices of Peter Griffin, Stewie, Brian and Glenn Quagmire in Family guy, i guess it's pretty common to do many voices if you work in this business.

    What's most impressive, I think, is how wildly varied Dan Castellaneta's vocal range is. Hank Azaria, Harry Shearer, and Nancy Cartwright all do tons of different characters too, and they're also immensely talented, but if you listen close, you can pick out a little trace of their own natural voice in a lot of their characters. With Dan, none of his voices sound anything alike. It's like he's got twenty other people just living inside of him 😆

    Castellaneta is also an incredible improvisor. In one scene he was playing a homeless man ranting and raving while Wiggum talked to Bart and the rant was such a weirdly tight stream of consciousness, the director had to tell Dan to just make incoherent noises because it was distracting from what was going on in the foreground. I think it was in season 7 and you can find the full rant that involves Solzhenitsyn somehow.

    Its crazy how much of a phenomenon the Simpsons were. The audience here went more insane for this actor who does almost exclusively voice acting than they have for any other conan interview Ive ever seen.

    Easy to forget that he can also sing in those voices, too! He (and the rest of the cast) are voice-acting legends and rightly so.

    As someone of Scottish decent I'm very offended that Grounds Keeper Willy is not voiced by a native Scotsman!!!
    oh wait, no i'm not, he is hilarious, and an actor doing a part. huh, go figure.

      I am surprised someone hasn't come forward to take offense by that voice acting, no more Apu, very sad and wrong..... was grounds keeper Willy born, raised and educated on a pool table? 😆 and I see where mike henry is not going to be voicing Cleveland brown anymore...
