The Simpsons replaced several voice actors.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT While The Simpsons has a cast of thousands, the show has changed the voice actors of at least fifteen characters for a diverse range of reasons. The Simpsons has been on the air for over 33 years. During that time, the long-running animated comedy introduced viewers to thousands of characters. From one-off joke characters to ever-present fan favorites, The Simpsons has a vast cast.
14 Artie Ziff Saturday Night Live regular Jon Lovitz played Marge’s would-be paramour Artie Ziff in almost all of his onscreen appearances. A jilted date from Marge’s high school years, Artie went on to become a tech millionaire. While Ziff’s four major appearances in the show featured Lovitz, his brief cameo in The Simpsons season 4, episode 19, “The Front,” saw Homer’s actor Dan Castellaneta voice the character.
11 Martin Prince/Sherri and Terri Originally, the resident teacher’s pet of Springfield Elementary was played by voice actor Russi Taylor, as were both of Lisa’s twin frenemies Sherri and Terri. However, Taylor passed away in 2019 and, after her characters were kept offscreen for a period, they eventually returned voiced by Grey DeLisle. A veteran voice actor, Taylor is perhaps best remembered for her work as Minnie Mouse.
8 Bill Clinton Former US President Bill Clinton was mocked plenty of times on The Simpsons, but the show couldn’t settle on one voice actor to portray the public figure. Clinton was played by Karl Wiedergott, Harry Shearer, or Phil Hartman depending on the episode. The late, great Hartman’s Clinton impression was frequently seen on Saturday Night Live, but his tragically early death led The Simpsons to hire an alternative impressionist.
5 Bernice Hibbert While The Simpsons season 34 was a major comeback for the series, the show was still recovering from its reckoning with miscast characters like Dr. Hibbert and Carl. Bernice Hibbert, Dr. Hibbert's wife, was originally voiced by Tress MacNeille for the first few decades of the series. Like her husband, however, Bernice was replaced in 2021 by a more fitting voice actor. Now, the character is played by Dawnn Lewis.
