Dan Castellaneta is a voice actor and comedian.

History[edit]

Dan Castellaneta works as a voice actor at Fox. The Simpsons meet him while on a tour of the Fox lot and Castellaneta warns Homer not to stick his head out of the tour tram, which he promptly does, smashing into a statue of Mischa Barton. The tour guide refers to Castellaneta as the star of The Tracey Ullman Show.[1] Castellaneta is also the voice of Angry Dad. He was chosen because he was able to mimic Homer's.[2] He also works as a comedian at a club in Chicago, where Homer and Mr. Burns told him to act a scene featuring a "a drunk millionaire at a Starbucks in Siberia".[3] Castellaneta does not voice Angry Dad again in Angry Dad: The Movie, as he ruined his voice screaming after he didn't get paid for the show.[4]

During "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular", Troy McClure explained that Matt Groening could not produce the series by himself. At Groening's insistence, the special paused to acknowledge the hard work of everyone who made The Simpsons possible by displaying the names of the many people involved in its production, including Dan Castellaneta.[5]
