Charlie is the Dangerous Emissions Supervisor of Sector 7-G. He is one of Homer Simpson’s friends and was involved in the fake emergency exit incident in 1993. After informing Mr. Burns of the need for a real emergency exit as opposed to the one painted on the wall, he got sucked into a tube that took him to a room where he was forced to dance for cackling men in turbans. In his absence, Mindy Simmons briefly took his place, but got fired afterwards. His first appearance was in "Life on the Fast Lane", when after Homer leaves the table during lunch he says, "Domestic problem". He is occasionally seen in Moe's Tavern drinking. In "King-Size Homer" he was briefly disabled as stated by Lenny after Homer notices he is not at the plant. However, he is well and healthy at the end of the episode. He tells Homer (while Homer is working for the FBI) that he has a plan to overthrow the government because they are not making HDTV happen soon enough, and is promptly arrested for conspiracy. In "Homie the Clown" he, along with other employees, were set on fire due to Homer's negligence. Charlie has spoken in very few episodes, but has been seen in the background more. He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who said that he was "doing an imitation of Lenny".
