== Appearances on The Simpsons ==

'''Daniel Louis "Dan" Castellaneta''' (born October 29, 1957) is an American actor and voice actor. He is the voice of [[Homer Simpson]] and many recurring characters such as the [[blue-haired lawyer]], [[Gil Gunderson]], [[Itchy]], [[Barney Gumble]], [[Krusty the Clown]], [[Kodos]], [[Sideshow Mel]], [[Hans Moleman]], [[Abraham Simpson]], [[squeaky-voiced teen]], [[Mayor Quimby]], and [[Groundskeeper Willie]]. He was also interviewed in ''[[The Simpsons: America's First Family]]'', ''[[The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons: Access All Areas]]''.
−
Mainly, he provides the voice for [[Homer Jay Simpson]]. Castellaneta has guest-starred as himself on The Simpsons twice and has also written some episodes along with his wife Deb Lacusta. These episodes are Gump roast, the Ziff who came to dinner, Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalor and Days of wine and D'oh'ses. His name was mispronounced by Homer during the credits of [[Bart Star]] as "Castaneltela"
 
  
−
== Appearances outside of The Simpsons ==

Besides a voice actor for the show, he is also a crew member and has written seven episodes with his wife, [[Deb Lacusta]]. These episodes are "[[Days of Wine and D'oh'ses]]", "[[Gump Roast]]", "[[The Ziff Who Came to Dinner]]", "[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore]]", "[[The Fight Before Christmas]]", "[[A Midsummer's Nice Dreams]]", and "[[The Ten-Per-Cent Solution]]". His name was mispronounced by [[Homer]] during the credits of "[[Bart Star]]" as "Castaneltela".
−
Castellaneta has done some live action acting on shows such as ''ALF'' and a couple of episodes of Fox's ''Married with Children''. He appeared in [[Matt Groening]]'s sister production [[Futurama]] as the [[w:c:futurama:Robot Devil|Robot Devil]]. Dan Castellaneta also appeared in the [[James L. Brooks]] 1989 film ''War of the Roses'' as a man seeking a divorce, marking the first time Brooks and Castellaneta worked on a [[Gracie Films]] production aside from ''The Simpsons''.
 
  
 +
Castellaneta was among several actors from the series to do voice work for ''[[Futurama]]''. He provided the voice of the [[Robot Devil]] in all of the character's appearances, save for "[[infosphere:A Tale of Two Santas|A Tale of Two Santas]]", in which [[Maurice LaMarche]] did the voice.
  
−
== Education ==
+
In an interview, Dan Castellaneta says he never talks about ''The Simpsons'' at home, but has admitted on a couple of occasions that if his wife is making lunch he may remark "Mmm, sandwiches!", like [[Homer]].
−
A native of Chicago, he graduated from Oak Park and River Forest High School and Northern Illinois University. After college, Castellaneta went on to work at '''Chicago's Second City''', which he later recalled on ''Inside the Actors Studio'' as "a place that, if you're not funny going in, will train you on how to be funny when going out."
 
  
−
== Family ==
+
Dan Castellaneta has got a knack for music. He has composed and/or written three songs for ''The Simpsons'', "[[They'll Never Stop the Simpsons]]", "[[Dancing Workers Song]]", and "[[The Gay Song]]". He also released one ''Simpsons''-related ''[[I Am Not Homer]]''. Dan Castellaneta also did all the singing when Homer had become an opera singer, which is uncommon as professional singers will often "step in" to sing for animated characters. Guest [[Plácido Domingo]] had commented that Dan Castellaneta's opera singing had been remarkable.
−

Daniel Louis "Dan" Castellaneta (born October 29, 1957) is an American actor and voice actor. He is the voice of Homer Simpson and many recurring characters such as the blue-haired lawyer, Gil Gunderson, Itchy, Barney Gumble, Krusty the Clown, Kodos, Sideshow Mel, Hans Moleman, Abraham Simpson, squeaky-voiced teen, Mayor Quimby, and Groundskeeper Willie. He was also interviewed in The Simpsons: America's First Family, The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!, and The Simpsons: Access All Areas.

Besides a voice actor for the show, he is also a crew member and has written seven episodes with his wife, Deb Lacusta. These episodes are "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses", "Gump Roast", "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore", "The Fight Before Christmas", "A Midsummer's Nice Dreams", and "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution". His name was mispronounced by Homer during the credits of "Bart Star" as "Castaneltela".

Castellaneta was among several actors from the series to do voice work for Futurama. He provided the voice of the Robot Devil in all of the character's appearances, save for "A Tale of Two Santas", in which Maurice LaMarche did the voice.

In an interview, Dan Castellaneta says he never talks about The Simpsons at home, but has admitted on a couple of occasions that if his wife is making lunch he may remark "Mmm, sandwiches!", like Homer.

Dan Castellaneta has got a knack for music. He has composed and/or written three songs for The Simpsons, "They'll Never Stop the Simpsons", "Dancing Workers Song", and "The Gay Song". He also released one Simpsons-related I Am Not Homer. Dan Castellaneta also did all the singing when Homer had become an opera singer, which is uncommon as professional singers will often "step in" to sing for animated characters. Guest Plácido Domingo had commented that Dan Castellaneta's opera singing had been remarkable.
