A native of Chicago, he was educated at the '''Oak Park and River Forest High School''' and '''Northern Illinois University'''. After graduation, Castellaneta went on to work at '''Chicago's Second City''', which he later recalled on ''Inside the Actors Studio'' as "a place that, if you're not funny going in, will train you on how to be funny when going out."
+
'''Daniel Louis "Dan" Castellaneta''' (born October 29, 1957) is an American actor and voice actor. He is the voice of [[Homer Simpson]] and many recurring characters such as the [[blue-haired lawyer]], [[Gil Gunderson]], [[Itchy]], [[Barney Gumble]], [[Krusty the Clown]], [[Kodos]], [[Sideshow Mel]], [[Hans Moleman]], [[Abraham Simpson]], [[squeaky-voiced teen]], [[Mayor Quimby]], and [[Groundskeeper Willie]]. He was also interviewed in ''[[The Simpsons: America's First Family]]'', ''[[The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons: Access All Areas]]''.
  
−
He is married to writer '''Deb Lacusta'''. He lives in Los Angeles where he occasionally performs alongside a branch of '''The Second City'''.
+
Besides a voice actor for the show, he is also a crew member and has written seven episodes with his wife, [[Deb Lacusta]]. These episodes are "[[Days of Wine and D'oh'ses]]", "[[Gump Roast]]", "[[The Ziff Who Came to Dinner]]", "[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore]]", "[[The Fight Before Christmas]]", "[[A Midsummer's Nice Dreams]]", and "[[The Ten-Per-Cent Solution]]". His name was mispronounced by [[Homer]] during the credits of "[[Bart Star]]" as "Castaneltela".
  
−
He also played Grandpa on the Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold!, Doctor Emmett L. Brown in the animated series Back to the Future, the Things in Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat and Robot Devil in Futurama. In 1999 he played as the comedic Nordom the anti-Modron in the computer game Planescape: Torment.
+
Castellaneta was among several actors from the series to do voice work for ''[[Futurama]]''. He provided the voice of the [[Robot Devil]] in all of the character's appearances, save for "[[infosphere:A Tale of Two Santas|A Tale of Two Santas]]", in which [[Maurice LaMarche]] did the voice.
  
−
Castellaneta voices the leading character in the animated series Earthworm Jim and narrated the movie Super Mario Bros. In 2005, he appeared on Arrested Development as a deadpan incompetent doctor who misdiagnosed Jason Bateman's character (and left tools inside him after surgery, causing him to exclaim "D'oh!") and in the movie The War of the Roses he seeks a divorce at the beginning of the movie. He also appeared in episodes of Frasier, Friends, Married with Children, Yes, Dear, Reba, Everybody Loves Raymond, That '70s Show,and Stargate SG-1.
+
In an interview, Dan Castellaneta says he never talks about ''The Simpsons'' at home, but has admitted on a couple of occasions that if his wife is making lunch he may remark "Mmm, sandwiches!", like [[Homer]].
  
−
On February 22, 2000, his first music CD Two Lips was published. It was followed on April 23, 2002 by his first comedy CD, I Am Not Homer, in which he and his wife perform several comedy skits. (For example, on the first track, "AM Therapy", his wife plays a radio-show psychotherapist and he plays several characters who call in for help.) Both CDs were published by Oglio Records.
+
Dan Castellaneta has got a knack for music. He has composed and/or written three songs for ''The Simpsons'', "[[They'll Never Stop the Simpsons]]", "[[Dancing Workers Song]]", and "[[The Gay Song]]". He also released one ''Simpsons''-related ''[[I Am Not Homer]]''. Dan Castellaneta also did all the singing when Homer had become an opera singer, which is uncommon as professional singers will often "step in" to sing for animated characters. Guest [[Plácido Domingo]] had commented that Dan Castellaneta's opera singing had been remarkable.
  
−
Castellaneta guest starred as Joe Spencer in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Citizen Joe". This was a humorous indirect connection between The Simpsons and Stargate, as Castellaneta voices Homer and The Simpsons is Jack O'Neill's (Stargate's main character) favorite TV show and Homer is deep in Jack's mind (in "Beneath the Surface" O'Neill's memory is erased but he still remembers a bald man and it turns out to be Homer, not Jack's commanding officer). The connection is deepened further by the fact that Castellaneta, along with his wife, wrote the Simpsons episode Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore, which guest-starred Richard Dean Anderson, the actor who plays O'Neill on SG-1.

Daniel Louis "Dan" Castellaneta (born October 29, 1957) is an American actor and voice actor. He is the voice of Homer Simpson and many recurring characters such as the blue-haired lawyer, Gil Gunderson, Itchy, Barney Gumble, Krusty the Clown, Kodos, Sideshow Mel, Hans Moleman, Abraham Simpson, squeaky-voiced teen, Mayor Quimby, and Groundskeeper Willie. He was also interviewed in The Simpsons: America's First Family, The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!, and The Simpsons: Access All Areas.

Besides a voice actor for the show, he is also a crew member and has written seven episodes with his wife, Deb Lacusta. These episodes are "Days of Wine and D'oh'ses", "Gump Roast", "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner", "Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore", "The Fight Before Christmas", "A Midsummer's Nice Dreams", and "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution". His name was mispronounced by Homer during the credits of "Bart Star" as "Castaneltela".

Castellaneta was among several actors from the series to do voice work for Futurama. He provided the voice of the Robot Devil in all of the character's appearances, save for "A Tale of Two Santas", in which Maurice LaMarche did the voice.

In an interview, Dan Castellaneta says he never talks about The Simpsons at home, but has admitted on a couple of occasions that if his wife is making lunch he may remark "Mmm, sandwiches!", like Homer.

Dan Castellaneta has got a knack for music. He has composed and/or written three songs for The Simpsons, "They'll Never Stop the Simpsons", "Dancing Workers Song", and "The Gay Song". He also released one Simpsons-related I Am Not Homer. Dan Castellaneta also did all the singing when Homer had become an opera singer, which is uncommon as professional singers will often "step in" to sing for animated characters. Guest Plácido Domingo had commented that Dan Castellaneta's opera singing had been remarkable.
