George C. Scott was an American actor with a distinguished career in both stage and screen.

History

George C. Scott appeared in a remake of Hans Moleman's short film, Man Getting Hit by Football, which Moleman had previously submitted to the Springfield Film Festival. In the original version of the film, Moleman simply said "Ow!" and doubled over in pain when the football hit him in the groin. In the remake, Scott said "Arrgh! My groin!" when he was hit, and then picked up the football.

The George C. Scott version of Man Getting Hit by Football won an Academy Award (category not specified), beating out A Burns for All Seasons (which had been Mr. Burns' entry in the film festival), in spite of Burns' "bribing everyone in Hollywood".

Behind the Laughter

  • George C. Scott did not provide his own voice for "A Star Is Burns". Instead, Maurice LaMarche provided the voice of the George C. Scott character.
  • In real life, George C. Scott passed away in 1999, four years after "A Star Is Burns" first aired.
