History

Llewellyn is short-tempered and a perfectionist. Originally, Marge is turned down for the part of Blanche, but after seeing how sad she really is, he realizes she's perfect. He insinuates that he once reduced a class of fourth graders to tears but got a decent review. In the musical, he plays Pablo, which was originally played by Otto but Otto "didn't work out". In the end, the musical is a success, which Llewellyn takes all the credit for.^[1]

He also took part in a record attempt for the world's tallest human pyramid.^[2]

He was at Moe's Tavern with Jay Sherman, Aristotle Amadopolis and Professor Lombardo when Homer brought Artie Ziff to the bar.^[3]

He was seen celebrating after Homer and Bart save the town from the bomb placed by the EPA.^[4]

Llewellyn Sinclair directed a play based on Death of a Salesman, which he reworked into The Salesman's Bad Day because the rights to Death of a Salesman were too expensive. Krusty the Clown, who had quit comedy, was to play the lead role of the Salesman, based on Willy Loman. Sinclair coached Krusty through his practices and eventually the day of the play came along. During the play, Krusty started to break down and went into humor again to which Sinclair told him to keep it up since the audience were laughing. After the play ended, Sinclair and Krusty bowed together on stage.^[5]
