Do you know the name Dan Castellaneta? How about Homer Simpson? Homer
Simpson is a celebrity and he has got a star on Hollywood Boulevard. Dan
Castellaneta hasn’t got a star and he isn’t very famous, but his voice is famous.
Dan is a voice actor. He’s the voice of Homer Simpson.
The Simpsons is a popular TV programme about an American family. Homer is the
father of the family and he’s got three children – Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Homer
isn’t a very good father. He’s lazy and he isn’t very clever.
Dan Castellaneta is different from Homer in many ways. First of all, he hasn’t got
any children. He’s hard-working and very intelligent. He’s a vegetarian, and
unlike Homer, he isn’t fat. But the two men are similar, too. They’re both
medium-height and they haven’t got hair on top of their heads.
On The Simpsons, Dan is also the voice of Grampa Simpson, Barney Gumble and
Krusty the Clown. Dan isn’t just a voice actor. He is also an actor in films and on
TV, but his face isn’t famous. That’s OK with Dan. He’s happy to be Homer’s
voice. He gets $400,000 for every episode of The Simpsons.
