Revision as of 09:49, August 17, 2010

The following is a list of people known to have been intended to guest star on the show, but for whatever reason, did not appear. Reasons include being cut from the episode, rejecting the show, dying before being able to record their part and not being approached, despite being in the initial plans.

Known episodes

  • Don Rickles rejected a role as himself in "New Kid on the Block" in what was to be the episode's original subplot. Homer was supposed to fight with Rickles after laughing execessively during a performance leading to them attending court. Rickles rejected because he didn't like his portrayal.[8]
  • Quentin Tarantino was also asked to voice himself in "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", but rejected the part, objecting to his lines. Dan Castellaneta voiced him instead.[28]
  • The writers originally drew up a list of ten British celebrities they wanted to appear in "The Regina Monologues".[33] The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams (a fan of the show) was included in a draft of the script acting as a tour guide and showing some of his relatives around London. Williams had to reject the part due to other engagements.[33] The script also included a role for a musician; the staff had hoped to get David Bowie or Morrissey for the part but nothing came together.[33] David and Victoria Beckham were also originally sought to guest star in the episode, and would be seen bickering on the street. They were dropped after Tony Blair agreed to guest star,[33] and it was deemed that they were not famous enough in the United States and so were not approached.[33][34]
  • Prince was lined up to appear in an unproduced sequel to "Stark Raving Dad" as Leon Kompowsky. Although he initially accepted it transpired that the script he received was not the one written by the staff and Prince refused to appear using the staff's script and so the episode was never made.[44]
