Sports & Hobbies
Dolph is a player in the Mighty Pigs Pee Wee Hockey League Team. In "24 Minutes" it is revealed that Dolph's hobbies are horse riding, tap dancing, British accent and stage fighting.
In the Dark
Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's gang, usually silent and always soft-spoken when that silence is broken. It is speculated that Dolph may be the most sensitive of the group, even more so than softie Nelson Muntz. His real name is something about which no hints have been provided, and some fans have offered criticism for the show's writers, citing that in The Simpsons' nearly twenty year run, Dolph is one of very few characters to have been almost completely ignored. Dolph is also a very minor character compared to Jimbo and Kearney and he doesn't speak as much as them. However in newer seasons he tends to be speak more regularly than in the earlier episodes. He also has made quite a few speaking appearances in the 20th season. Dolph did also play a major role in 24 Minutes along with Jimbo and Kearney.
