Daniel Louis Castellaneta (born 29 October 1957, Chicago) is an American comic actor. He is best known for his voice acting work on The Simpsons, Homer being his best known character in the show. In Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!, he did voices for Mr. Mysterio and Wooden Leg Wally.
Trivia[]
- At first, for the voice of Homer Simpson, Castellaneta tried to imitate Walter Matthau, but he had trouble with certain emotional registers and intonations with the voice, so he slightly changed to the present voice of Homer at the beginning of the second season of The Simpsons (1989).
- His voice characterization of Krusty the Clown on The Simpsons was based on Chicago television legend Bob Bell, who portrayed WGN-TV's "Bozo the Clown" from 1960 to 1984.
- Like Casey Kasem, Castellaneta is a vegetarian and also a teetotaler.
