Harry Shearer The Simpsons
He voiced in The Simpsons many characters, among them Reverend Lovejoy, Charles Montgomery Burns, Ned Flanders, and Seymour Skinner. Seymour, sometimes known as Principal Skinner, is the principal of Springfield Elementary School in The Simpsons. He tries to maintain control of the school’s deteriorating atmosphere, which includes insufficient resources, indifferent instructors, and unenthusiastic pupils. Skinner’s severe discipline and military mentality are the result of his participation in the Vietnam War, which caused him post-traumatic stress disorder. An old Skinner and Superintendent Gary Chalmers episode went viral, producing the “Steamed Hams” meme.
Reverend Timothy Lovejoy Jr. typically wears a bubblegum-colored shirt with a navy or sky-blue tie or his reverend collar with a black shirt and jeans. When he goes to church or officiates marriages, he wears his reverend robe over his regular attire.
He wears it over his bubblegum shirt at times and over his black shirt and jeans with his reverend collar at other times. He has black hair, bags under his eyes, and his eyes are constantly half-lidded. Outside of his talks, he frequently wears a suit consisting of his bubblegum shirt, tie, and blue slacks rather than normal clergy garb.
Monty Burns, also known as Charles Montgomery Burns, is Springfield’s richest, oldest, most powerful, and greediest inhabitant. His money is in the billions, yet he has lost it four times and had to sell his Power Plant. Despite his age and frailty, Burns employs merciless measures to attain his objectives. In The Simpsons, Ned Flanders, Jr. is a pious neighbor and a minor enemy in Treehouse of Horror. He worships God and follows the Bible, owns the Leftorium and Flancrest Enterprises, and volunteers as a firefighter. He leases out the Simpsons’ home at affordable prices to demonstrate his compassion. He claims to be 60 in Hurricane Neddy, but some fans feel he faked to earn a senior citizen’s discount.
