Dolph is part of Jimbo's gang of bullies ([[Jimbo]], [[Kearney]], [[Nelson Muntz|Nelson]], '''Dolph'''). Dolph is recognized by his asymmetrical haircut which covers one eye and wears cutoff shorts and "Chuck Taylor All-Stars" style basketball shoes. Also, it has been revealed that Dolph is Jewish, which was first shown during the seventeenth-season episode [[See Homer Run]].

He is named after [[Matt Groening]]’s classmate Dolph Timmerman. Groening has said that Timmerman wasn’t a bully at all, but a “really cool guy."

Dolph is recognized by his asymmetrical haircut, which covers one eye. He wears cutoff shorts and ''Chuck Taylor All-Stars'' style basketball shoes. Dolph is 17 years old. He is left-handed. Dolph's hair can appear either reddish (like Jimbo's) or dark brown. Dolph is a 6th grade student at [[Springfield Elementary]]. Dolph once attended Hebrew school,<ref>"[[Kamp Krusty]]"</ref> and according to a school profile, he can speak "Spanish, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Latin, Old English, English, Klingon, and Esperanto".<ref>"[[24 Minutes]]"</ref>
  
==In the Dark==
+
Dolph's father sports an eye patch and has the same haircut as Dolph;<ref>"[[The Homer They Fall]]"</ref> he is shown hanging out with the fathers of [[Kearney]] and [[Jimbo]].  
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 was named after one of Matt Groening's classmates from Lincoln High School named Dolph Timmerman. Groening stated that Timmerman was not a bully but just a real cool guy.
 +
 
 +
Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's group and never really has a big part until seasons 19, 20 and 21. He is also Jewish as shown in "[[Lisa the Drama Queen]]" and before that in "[[See Homer Run]]". Dolph is a minor character, compared to Jimbo and Kearney, and doesn't speak as much as them. However, in newer seasons, he tends to be speak more regularly than in the earlier episodes. In the episode "[[I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot]]", when Bart moons the bullies on his collapsing 10-speed bike, Jimbo and Kearney grimace, but Dolph shouts out "No one does that to Dolph! NO ONE!", a possible reference to him becoming more of a main character.
 +
 
 +
In later seasons show, he generally gets more speaking parts than [[Jimbo]] and [[Kearney]]. Such as being the only bully present at the science fair in "[[Replaceable You]]" and having more lines than [[Kearney]] in "[[Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts]]".
 +
 
 +
Dolph's surname was stated to be "Starbeam" in the [[season 18]] episode "[[24 Minutes]]", but was later changed to "Shapiro", as seen in the [[season 25]] episode "[[Yellow Subterfuge]]" and the [[season 33]] episode "[[Boyz N the Highlands]]".

Behind the Laughter

Dolph was named after one of Matt Groening's classmates from Lincoln High School named Dolph Timmerman. Groening stated that Timmerman was not a bully but just a real cool guy.

Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's group and never really has a big part until seasons 19, 20 and 21. He is also Jewish as shown in "Lisa the Drama Queen" and before that in "See Homer Run". Dolph is a minor character, compared to Jimbo and Kearney, and doesn't speak as much as them. However, in newer seasons, he tends to be speak more regularly than in the earlier episodes. In the episode "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot", when Bart moons the bullies on his collapsing 10-speed bike, Jimbo and Kearney grimace, but Dolph shouts out "No one does that to Dolph! NO ONE!", a possible reference to him becoming more of a main character.

In later seasons show, he generally gets more speaking parts than Jimbo and Kearney. Such as being the only bully present at the science fair in "Replaceable You" and having more lines than Kearney in "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts".

Dolph's surname was stated to be "Starbeam" in the season 18 episode "24 Minutes", but was later changed to "Shapiro", as seen in the season 25 episode "Yellow Subterfuge" and the season 33 episode "Boyz N the Highlands".
