Troy McClure
Troy McClure is a cheesy B-movie actor who has fallen on hard times. He is often seen shilling for shoddy products or hosting questionable shows. His catch phrase, "Hi! I'm Troy McClure! You might remember me from such [films, TV shows, dates] as..." are always completed with some wonderfully horrendous titles.
Troy lost most of his celebrity status due to an "incident" at an aquarium that tarnished his wholesome image. Troy later tries to recapture his fame by dating Marge's sister, Selma, and thereby proving he was as "normal" as anyone else in Hollywood. His plan seems to work; after being spotted around town with Selma, Troy lands the lead role of Taylor, the human astronaut, in an unintentionally hilarious musical version of "Planet of the Apes".
Unfortunately, Troy's relationship with Selma doesn't last (as foreshadowed by the giant fish tanks in Troy's bedroom), and he once again becomes the B-List "star" we know and love.
Troy McClure's character has been retired due to the untimely death of voice actor Phil Hartman
