EspañolLIST OF ONE-TIME CHARACTERS FROM THE SIMPSONS
This list is of 'one-time fictional characters' from the American animated television comedy series '''The Simpsons'''. For a list of recurring characters, see List of characters from The Simpsons or List of recurring characters from The Simpsons.
Some of these 'one-time' characters have returned to the show, sometimes in just brief speaking appearances, or even just 'in the crowd' scenes. Other characters, originally intended to be 'one-time' characters have ended up becoming regular cast members, such as Cletus Spuckler, Luigi Risotto, Disco Stu, Groundskeeper Willie, Cookie Kwan & Lindsey Naegle.
For purposes of this list, "one-time" means they were central to an episode one time. Some of the characters listed here have appeared in later episodes, but only briefly.
'Aristotle 'Ari' Amadopoulos' is fabulously wealthy and owns Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant. He belongs to The Millionaire's Club, which runs on the Springfield Trade Center. Amadopoulos is voiced by Jon Lovitz and Dan Castellaneta. In Homer Defined, Homer Simpson, as Safety Inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant finds himself with an imminent nuclear meltdown situation. Having not paid attention in his formation, he cannot remember how to avert the situation, yet amazingly does so via an eeny, meeny, miny, moe which by chance leads him to press the correct button, much to the relief of the city of Springfield. Amadopoulos then invites Simpson to give a conference for his workers, in order for them to find their zest for work, in Amadopoulos' words, their "ine-hara-tu-na-doulevi" ("it's his pleasure to work" in Greek). However, an eerily similar situation occurs, as a meltdown threatens to strike Shelbyville. Amadopoulos instructs Simpson to do what he had done before. He does exactly that, by repeating the eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Amadopoulos was relieved, but is outraged that Homer used sheer luck to save them. He would later appear in Homer at the Bat, making a million dollar bet with Mr. Burns over the two plants' softball teams.
In "The Best of Simpsons" issue 30, in the story "Tanks for Nothing", he threatens nuclear war on Springfield after seeing on his spy satellite that there is a tank (that Abe got in compensation for not having Veterans tax) at Springfield power plant.
Amadopoulos' name comes from Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.
'Rex Banner' (voiced by Dave Thomas) was featured in the episode ''Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment''. Banner is a U.S. Treasury officer in Washington, D.C. briefly sent to Springfield to uphold Prohibition, and to replace Clancy Wiggum as Chief of Police. His main objective was capturing the "Beer Baron", a rum-runner who was actually Homer. When this was finally done by Wiggum, Rex was fired, both from his job as chief, and from the main mechanism of punishment for breaking the ancient prohibition law: catapult. In The Simpsons Movie he appears as part of the angry mob that seeks to kill Homer, proving that Rex has surrived the catapult.
Rex Banner was based on Eliot Ness, the Treasury agent who led the famous Prohibition-enforcement team "The Untouchables". His voice is based on Robert Stack's portrayal of Ness in the ''Untouchables'' TV series. His appearance is based on Kevin Costner's portrayal of Ness in the ''Untouchables'' film.
'Mr. Daniel Bergstrom' was Lisa's substitute teacher in "Lisa's Substitute" (7F19); he was voiced by Dustin Hoffman (credited as "Sam Etic", a reference to the character being Jewish). Mr. Bergstrom took over for Ms. Hoover after she believed she had got Lyme Disease. Lisa immediately took to him because he was a kind, sensitive man who was the kind of male role model she needed in her life. Mr. Bergstrom met with Homer and learned that he was nothing like Lisa. Lisa and Mr. Bergstrom became great friends, but after Ms. Hoover returned, he had to leave Springfield. A distraught Lisa ran to stop him, and Mr. Bergstrom gave her a note saying "You are Lisa Simpson". As his train sped off, Lisa (in a parody of one of Hoffman's iconic films, ''The Graduate'') raced after it. He is also known as Mr. Nerdstrom, Mr. Boogerstrom, or the Singing Dork (the former two nicknames he suggested to the class as "names they could use to make fun of him". The character was made to look like Simpsons writer, Mike Reiss. The character repeated a satirical version one of Hoffman's most famous lines from The Graduate when he said "Mrs. Krabappel, you're trying to seduce me."
'Gravedigger Billy' appears in the episode The Girl Who Slept Too Little, and is Groundskeeper Willie's cousin. He has a glass eye, and a peg leg which causes him to limp when he walks. He is first shown digging a grave at night in the graveyard beside the Simpson's house. He tells Lisa that he hasn't buried anybody alive in his 30 years of work, but almost immediately a hand appears from the grave he is filling in. He appears later in the episode as well with Groundskeeper Willie, who he tricked into believing that he was leading him to a grave filled with gold. He shows Willie an empty grave, and then prepares to hit him with a stick when Willie bends over it and says, "All I see is an empty grave, why don't you fill it you lazy bastard?"
'The Space Coyote' appeared in Homer's chili-induced hallucination in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer" (The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer) and was voiced by music legend Johnny Cash. Homer, after eating a Guatemalan Insanity Pepper, stumbled into a mysterious land which culminated in meeting his spirit guide, a red coyote. The coyote tells Homer that he is on a quest and says he needs to find his soul mate. Homer states his soul mate is Marge, but the Coyote replies with "is it?" and runs off, leaving Homer confused. He also tried to gnaw on Homer's leg, citing the reason (when he is kicked away) that he is still a coyote. The Coyote was specifically modeled to look completely different from the rest of the characters, being designed with straight lines. Bob Dylan was originally wanted for the role, but he turned it down. In his book '', Chris Turner states that Johnny Cash as the coyote is his favorite guest performance. Outside the hallucination, The Space Coyote is just a talking dog who later pretends to not talk.
'Mason Fairbanks' (voiced by Michael York) is a treasure hunter who appeared in the episode "Homer's Paternity Coot". Homer tracks him down -- disguised as a reporter -- after he discovers old love letters written by Fairbanks to his mother, Mona, and begins to believe he may be his biological father. After confessing his true reasons for seeking him out Fairbanks bonds with Homer, as well as Bart and Lisa, prompting Abraham Simpson to demand a paternity test. When the test reveals Fairbanks to be Homer's father they celebrate with a treasure hunt, which goes wrong when the submarine Homer is in gets trapped between rocks underwater. In his final moments Homer reminisces about the many things Abraham had done for him growing up, only to be rescued by Fairbanks then have Abraham admit to having switched DNA samples during the paternity test, wanting to preserve the happiness Homer had been feeling with Fairbanks.
'Jonathan "John" Nerdelbaum Frink' is the father of Prof. Frink, with whom he never really got along well. He appears in Treehouse of Horror XIV in the segment "''Frinkenstein''". Frink Jr's mother said they got along like positrons and antineutrinos. He is voiced by Jerry Lewis who was also the inspiration for Professor Frink. After Frink Jr. wins the Nobel Prize (for devising a hammer with a screwdriver on the other end of it), he expresses the wish that his father was able to see him win. He explains that his father always saw him as a disappointment, and describes his father as a he-man scientist who worked on the atom bomb by day, slept with Marilyn Monroe by night, and sold secrets to the Russians at lunch. He was last seen alive just before he went on a fishing trip. Frink Jr. didn't want to go on this trip because he gets sick ("clean but nauseous") taking a shower. His father, disgusted, left without him. Frink reveals that his father was bitten by a shark while testing a blood-based suntan lotion. Frink brings his dad back to life, explains that his missing organs have been replaced with machines, and that he has no penis "in the traditional sense". Frink Sr., believing he isn't really alive, goes on an organ theft rampage. Lisa convinces him to get rid of all the stolen organs and go to Sweden to see his son win the Nobel prize. After he finishes his speech, he walks around stealing peoples' brains in an effort to gain knowledge. Frink Jr. stops him by kicking him in the crotch. Soon Frink dies again, but Frink Jr puts his soul in "the soul box". It is also mentioned that he is 63. His appearance in the above picture is similar to Indiana Jones. Another reference to that is Jones and his father were also estranged, similar to how Frink and his son were estranged.
The Fishing crew of the boat "The Rotting Pelican" from The Wife Aquatic, consisting of:
★ An 'unnamed Skipper', captain of the Boat (voiced by Hank Azaria)
★ First-mate 'Billy' (voiced by Maurice LaMarche)
★ "Portuguese" 'Fausto', who spends all his spare time playing with a knife because "it's his thing" and appears to be wanted by the law. (voiced by Hank Azaria)
★ Five other nameless crew members, although in the end only four are seen (one of whom was voiced by Dana Gould)
Residents of "Barnacle Bay", an Island in New England, the crew mainly fished for "Yum Yum Fish", but had fallen on hard times after overfishing drove all the Yum Yums away. After accidentally burning down the boardwalk, Homer is forced to join the crew in order to pay off his debts. The crew goes searching for Yum Yum Fish, with little luck. However, after Homer accidentally beer battered the fishing hooks, they caught many Yum Yum fish. Suddenly a "Perfect Storm" started and the crew found itself trapped in the middle of the ocean. It was decided that they would abandon ship, but Bart had stowed away in the life raft compartment, and threw away the raft. The Rotting Pelican sank and the crew was stuck in the middle of the storm, but were saved by a Japanese Fishing boat.
'Frank "Grimey" Grimes', was a 35-year-old character and was voiced by Hank Azaria.[1] His one and only appearance was in the episode "Homer's Enemy".[2] Frank Grimes is the consummate professional, which clashes with Homer Simpson's idiocy. After Mr. Burns saw his story on television, Grimes was recruited to become the executive vice-president of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Grimes was hired, but due to Mr. Burns hiring a heroic canine instead, was forced to work in Sector 7-G with Lenny, Carl, and Homer. Grimes soon became frustrated with the fact that, not only does Homer get away with an appalling amount of workplace offenses, but that he also seems to have achieved a more successful life through his laziness than Grimes has from his hard work. He consistently seems to experience the worst outcome of any situation in life. Attempting to humiliate Homer by placing him in a "Build a nuclear plant contest for kids", Grimes hoped everyone in the plant would laugh. Instead, his co-workers applauded Homer's victory. Finally, Grimes "snapped". He began acting like Homer, imitating his moronic behavior, culminating with touching a live electrical wire without safety gloves, fatally electrocuting himself. His last words were, "I don't need safety gloves because I'm Homer Simp-!"
'Frank Grimes Jr.' is the son of Frank Grimes. Though Frank Grimes Sr. was never married, Grimes Jr. was born because his dad "happened to like hookers". He is voiced by Hank Azaria. He was Homer's mechanic in ''The Great Louse Detective''. However, when he found out Homer was behind his father's death, he decided to kill Homer. But after his first attempt on Homer's life, the Simpsons and the police hired Sideshow Bob to protect him, on the principle of 'sending a homicidal maniac to catch a homicidal maniac'. After a 2nd try, Grimes entered many cards with Homer's name on them into the Mardi Gras King election. When Homer was elected King, Grimes sabotaged the parade float on which he was to ride. At the last minute, Bob saved Homer after realizing the truth. The two cornered Grimes, who admitted the truth and was arrested by police. See Frank Grimes for more.
'Gloria' is a cop who appears in the episode "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love", voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. After spending Flag Day at a wealthy social gathering and a strip club, Burns finds a cop ticketing his car and asks her out on a date. Homer helps Mr. Burns in his dates, and later, Snake Jailbird attacks a bowling alley, and kidnaps Gloria (who is his ex-girlfriend) and Homer. Snake takes Gloria and Homer to his hideout. Though Gloria says she loves Burns, Snake vows he can change. Homer tries to escape but instead sets Snake's house on fire. Snake and Homer get out and Burns runs in to save Gloria (Gloria then saves Burns). When she thinks of Snake, Gloria breaks up with Burns and becomes Snake's girl again.
'Hollis Hurlbut', voiced by Donald Sutherland, is the head of the Springfield Historical Society in "Lisa the Iconoclast". While showing Lisa around the museum, she finds a secret confession revealing that Jebidiah Springfield was a fraud. Lisa brings this to Hurlburt, who "bans her and her children and her children's children — for three months". Later, the town board digs up the skeleton of Springfield to prove that there is no silver tongue. Hurlburt, who pries the coffin open, finds it and pockets it before the dust can settle. Lisa eventually confronts him and decides to bring the truth forward. However, Lisa has a change of heart and keeps the truth secret. Hollis and Hurlbut are the names of two freshman dormitories at Harvard. He can be seen briefly in The Simpsons Movie as part of the mob heading to the Simpsons' house and later when the city has fallen into chaos.
Jacques "Brunswick" is a bowling instructor voiced by Albert Brooks who pursued an affair with Marge Simpson in "Life on the Fast Lane". Marge, who was angry at Homer for giving her a bowling ball for her birthday, went bowling and met Jacques. Jacques immediately became infatuated with her and insisted that they get together. Although reluctant at first, Marge eventually joins him for brunch and he later invites her to his apartment. Marge is forced to choose between Jacques and Homer, and chooses Homer. Jacques' surname is derived from the fact that Marge's bowling ball is called 'Homer', as that was what was engraved on it, and when she saw 'Brunswick' on Jacques' ball she called him Mr. Brunswick, even though this is probably the make of the ball, and not Jacques' surname. Jacques later appeared in the episode Pin Pals where he is seen with Princess Kashmir losing a game against Homer and his bowling team. He makes a brief appearance in "And Maggie Makes Three", where he is seen bowling. In The Simpsons Movie he appears as part of the angry mob that seeks to kill Homer. He is also seen in the opening sequence as Bart skateboards down the street.
'John', voiced by and modelled on John Waters, is the owner of Cockamamie's Collectibles Shop, an offbeat store filled with various "camp" items. He first appears when he shows that "a very old figurine" belonging to the Simpsons was just an old liquor bottle, quickly striking up a friendship with the family. Whilst exploring the Simpson's house searching for any value in the items there, Homer takes a shine to him. However, upon hearing that John is a homosexual, Homer turns against him. The rest of the family continue to enjoy John's company, with him taking them on a tour of Springfield. After a while Homer fears that John's homosexuality is rubbing off on Bart and decides to take him hunting. After Homer has sustained a severe beating from a group of reindeer, John saves him, scaring the reindeer off with a Japanese robot Santa Claus. With this act he earns Homer's trust. John appeared only in the episode "Homer's Phobia", and wore Homer's "Pin Pals" shirt from "Team Homer" throughout. He also appears briefly in a Bart Simpson comic, where he sold a McBain lunch box to Nelson Muntz.
He also appears in The Simpsons Movie, holding a torch along with the mob that wants to kill Homer for delibrately polluting the city lake.
'Leon Kompowsky', a "big white guy who thinks he's the little black guy", is a mental patient who thinks he's Michael Jackson. He was, in fact, voiced by Jackson (who, for contractual reasons, was credited as "John Jay Smith") and his singing was done by Jackson impersonator Kipp Lennon. In "Stark Raving Dad", Homer gets hospitalized for wearing a pink shirt to work, and while in the hospital, meets a patient who calls himself Michael Jackson and thinks that he is the famous singer, although he's a middle-aged caucasian man. After getting released, Homer invites him to come visit his home (Kompowsky was in the hospital voluntarily) and Bart, thinking Kompowsky is the real Michael Jackson, tells everyone. The entire town shows up to see Michael Jackson, only to learn it's fake. Bart becomes hated in the town, and Lisa hates him too for forgetting her birthday. Kompowsky decides to set things right and helps Bart write a special birthday song for Lisa. In the end, his work is done, so Kompowsky drops the Jackson charade and starts talking in his normal voice (voiced by Hank Azaria) citing his reasons for doing the voice was a result of anger and he felt respected when he did the Jackson impersonation, he then cites his work at the Simpson home was done prior to leaving. Kompowsky was set to later return, except this time as Prince, but the idea fell through when Prince turned the part down. Kompowsky does make an appearance in the Simpson comic, as a janitor for the mental facility. He has not made an appearance since.
Lester & Eliza appear in "The Day the Violence Died". Lester is voiced by Tress MacNeille, and Eliza doesn't speak at all. They resemble Bart and Lisa from the original sketches on The Tracy Ullman Show, and are rivals to Bart and Lisa. Bart and Lisa see them at the reopening of Itchy & Scratchy studios, discovering that they have found a solution to the problem before them. Apu also thanks them for helping him after he was arrested for public nudity. Later, an episode of Itchy and Scratchy is dedicated to them. Bart tells Marge that there is something odd about the fact that he and Lisa didn't solve the problem, before looking out the window and glaring at a skateboarding Lester.
★ 'Erin', voiced by Christina Ricci
★ 'Ben', 'Rick' and 'Dean': It's unclear which is who, but according to , Ben is voiced by Harry Shearer, Rick is voiced by Hank Azaria, and Dean is voiced by Tress MacNeille.
Lisa's four friends in Summer of 4 Ft. 2. Lisa, tired of being an unpopular nerd, travels with her family to Little Pwagmattasquarmesettport with the intention of making new friends. While walking on a dock, she hears some teenagers and finds Ben, Dean, Erin and Rick. Acting like Bart, she immediately clicks with them and takes them skateboarding at the library. Her best friend in the group is Erin, who Lisa says is her first real friend. Bart discovers she's acting like him and decides to try to steal her friends. He shows them Lisa's yearbook (which has all of Lisa's nerdy accomplishments) and Lisa, assuming they won't like her any more, runs off crying. However, the group realizes Lisa is a good person and glue shells on the family car that say "Lisa Rules". They also sign her yearbook. It is unknown whether or not the group is from Little Pwagmattasquarmesettport or if they are also on holiday. Their parents are never seen, but it is insinuated that one is French and another's father is similar to Homer when they are at Lisa's place discussing their parents.
A conman who sold Springfield a shoddy monorail in "Marge vs. the Monorail", voiced by Phil Hartman. Lyle is a slick conman who lures the town into purchasing a useless monorail by singing a convincing song. He continues the con by "training" potential monorail conductors but in the end randomly points at Homer. Lyle's plan of running to Tahiti with the town's money was discovered by Marge, but she was too late. Lyle rushed to the airport with the town's money and would have gotten away, but the flight had to make a stop in North Haverbrook. The people of North Haverbrook, who had previously been conned by Lanley, rushed onto the plane and (presumably) killed him. He is a parody of the con man "Professor" Harold Hill, Robert Preston's title character of ''The Music Man''.
'Lucille Botzcowski' also known as Ms. Botz, is a criminal known as "The Babysitter Bandit" that made an appearance in "Some Enchanted Evening", voiced by Penny Marshall. After Homer entices Marge for a romantic night out, he calls a babysitting service. The lady who runs the babysitting service (voiced by June Foray), makes Ms. Botz go. When Botz arrived, she put Maggie to bed, and let Bart and Lisa stay up to watch "Happy Little Elves". Being fed up with watching the "Elves" tape, Bart changes the channel to a show called "America's Most Wanted" where they both learn that Botz was actually the "Babysitter Bandit". She ties Bart and Lisa up shortly afterwards. Maggie wakes up due to all the noise and unties Bart and Lisa so that they would let her watch the "Happy Little Elves". Then Botz gets hit and tied up when Bart tricks her into a dark room by sucking on Maggie's pacifier. Homer, thinking that it was just Bart being mischievous, sets her free and pays her triple just seconds before the police arrive. She makes a brief appearances in two episodes, one on a wanted poster seen on the news, and in "Hurricane Neddy," pacing in a padded cell down the hall from Ned at the mental hospital. She is Herman's wife.
Voiced by Patrick Stewart, he appeared in "Homer the Great." Not much is known about Number One except that he was the head of the Springfield chapter of the secret orgainzation, The Stonecutters. He subjected recruits to "The Crossing of the Desert", "The Wreck of the Hesperus" and "The Paddling of the Swollen Ass... With Paddles". While being thrown out for using the Sacred Parchment as a bib, Homer is discovered to be "The Chosen One" by virtue of a birthmark in the shape of the Stonecutters symbol on his backside. But he inadvertently destroys the chapter by following Lisa's advice to use the Stonecutters' resources to help the less-fortunate. Number One launches the "Ancient Mystic Society of No Homers" out of a former ice cream parlor. Number One has since not made any appearance.
'Hank Scorpio' (voiced by Albert Brooks) is an evil genius and owner of Globex Corporation, appearing in the episode "You Only Move Twice",[3] a parody of the James Bond film ''You Only Live Twice''. His company offered Homer Simpson an ideal job and a new home for his family in the planned community of Cypress Creek. Scorpio, despite being an evil genius, proved to be an ideal boss, welcoming the Simpson family with a large gift basket and a friendly greeting. However, being an evil genius is still his priority, and over the episode he delivers a video threat to the United Nations, in which he destroys a bridge with a giant satellite laser device. Later, he tries to kill a Mr. "Bont" (a parody of James Bond) who cleverly escapes but is tackled by Homer before being rapidly executed in turn by Scorpio's guards. Scorpio's character parodies evil villains from James Bond movies. Unlike the Bond villains, Scorpio genuinely seems to care about the well-being of his people, though. The episode even has a Bond-esque closing song (a direct parody of the theme to ''Goldfinger''), which plays during the end credits and mainly talks about how well he treats his employees. In addition to his satellite laser (which Homer helped oversee), a reference was made to Weather Control and Bacteriological Warfare divisions within the Globex Corporation. In a newspaper headline it is revealed that he conquered the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Scorpio is considered to be Albert Brooks' best voice performance on ''The Simpsons'' and he was named the greatest guest star in the show's history by IGN,[4] with his performance as Scorpio being named as his best. According to the "You Only Move Twice" DVD commentary, Brooks ad-libbed many of his lines.
A former employee of Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, for whom Homer had an attraction in "The Last Temptation of Homer". Voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer, Simmons was an engineer at the plant, on whom Homer developed a crush. When the two were sent to a National Energy convention in Capital City, the two nearly had an affair, but despite his attraction to Simmons, Homer remained faithful to Marge. After Homer decided not to pursue a relationship, Simmons was fired because of alcohol abuse. Even after this was revealed in Another Simpsons Clip Show, she has still been used as a background character at the plant in subsequent episodes, suggesting she may have been rehired. She was part of the "Home Wreckers" bowling team seen in Team Homer. According to The Homer Book, she is the female equivalent of Homer, and likes cheeseburgers, a quick nap before lunch, foot-long chili dogs, whipped cream straight from the can, raspberry swirl doughnuts with a double glaze, and roasted anything. Her idea of heaven is sitting in front of the TV while drinking beer.
'Beatrice Simmons' (voiced by Audrey Meadows) appeared in "Old Money". Grampa Simpson met her at the Springfield Retirement Castle help desk when the staff accidentally swaps their medications. It was love at first sight for Grampa, and they start dating. They arrange another date for Bea's birthday, but Grampa is forced to stand her up when Homer abducts him onto one of the family's once-a-month day trips to "Discount Lion Safari". When he returns to the Retirement Castle, Bea is dead. Jasper explains that Bea's left ventricle burst; she literally died from a broken heart. Grampa then learns that Bea left him thousands of dollars. He tells Homer to make him envious. While trying unsuccessfully to enjoy his inheritance, Grampa sees Bea's ghost who suggests he give it those that can after explaining to him that death is not so scary and that she is haunting a family in Texas. While interviewing potential candidates Lisa tells Grampa none of them deserve the money and tells him to use it to help the poor. Grampa visits areas of Springfield and realizes he doesn't have enough money to help them all. He decides to gamble to increase his money, but Homer stops him just before he loses it all. He forgives Homer, and after looking at the other seniors outside the casino, Grampa decides to use Bea's money to renovate the Retirement Castle. We then see that the Retirement Castle has become a beautiful place to live, featuring a brand new 'Beatrice Simmons Memorial Dining Hall' (in which Bea is mysteriously seen entering at the end of the episode).
'Llewellyn Sinclair', the musical director of ''O Streetcar''; and his sister, 'Ms. Sinclair', head of the Ayn Rand School for Tots, both appeared in "A Streetcar Named Marge", and are voiced by Jon Lovitz.
Llewellyn is depicted as short-tempered and a perfectionist. Originally, Marge is turned down for the part of Blanche, but after seeing how sad she really is, he realizes she's perfect. He insinuates that he once reduced a class of fourth graders to tears but got a decent review. In the musical, he plays Pablo, which was originally played by Otto but Otto "didn't work out". In the end, the musical is a success, which Llewelyn takes all the credit for. Llewellyn has since made two appearances. He appeared briefly in "Sweets and Sour Marge" as one of the townspeople in the pyramid and again in "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner" along with several other Lovitz voiced characters.
His sister, known only as 'Ms. Sinclair', also voiced by Jon Lovitz, runs the local nursery The Ayn Rand School for Tots. She has modelled the workings of the school after the philosophies of Ayn Rand and tries "to develop the bottle within." Posters referring to Rand's ideas are hung throughout the nursery, including "A is A" and "Helping is Futile." She is also opposed to pacifiers, causing Maggie to rebel and retrieve her pacifier in a manner similar to the escape of the POWs in ''The Great Escape''. She has not been seen since.
Voiced by Martin Sheen in "The Principal and the Pauper", the original Seymour Skinner (Springfield Elementary School's principal is actually named Armin Tamzarian). The real Skinner and Armin Tamzarian were buddies in the Vietnam War. Skinner took Tamzarian under his wing and turned him from a rebel into a responsible adult. Skinner would later disappear on a mission. Tamzarian, assuming Skinner was dead, decided to report the death to Skinner's mother. However, she thought Tamzarian was Skinner, who not wanting to sadden her, played along. After many years, the real Skinner was released from a POW camp and returned to Springfield, where he took his life back. In the end, the citizens of Springfield rode him out of town on a rail, in favour of Tamzarian, who was then legally renamed ''Seymour Skinner''. The "real" Seymour Skinner has not appeared again.
All the events in this episode were forbidden from being mentioned again, under penalty of torture. The only time this rule has been broken since was in "I, D'oh-Bot", when Lisa refers to Principal Skinner as "Principal Tamzarian". (Lisa apparently avoided the stiff penalty for this infraction because only Skinner heard her.) This was a self-referential joke, since "I, D'oh-Bot" used the same plot device of making a major change to the Simpsons' world, then effectively erasing the change within the same episode.
'Lucius Sweet' (voiced by Paul Winfield) is a parody of Don King. (It was said that Sweet is "exactly as rich and famous as Don King and looks just like him too." Incidentally, Winfield also played Don King in the 1995 TV movie ''Tyson''.) Sweet first appeared in the Season 8 episode "The Homer They Fall". Lucius learned of Homer's talent when Homer started boxing. He promoted Drederick Tatum (a parody of Mike Tyson), who ultimately defeated Homer.
Sweet also has a small appearance in the Season 9 episode "The Trouble with Trillions" and was also seen in the Afro-American church in the episode "Milhouse of Sand and Fog" as well as a guest at Krusty the Klown's funeral in "Bart the Fink".
'Chloe Talbot' is a one-time character from the episode "She Used to Be My Girl", and was voiced by Kim Cattrall. She is a famous, Peabody Award winning reporter from the Global Television Network. She went to high school with Marge and the two were best friends. They were both star reporters and had promising futures, however Marge decided to stay with Homer, but Chloe abandoned her sweet-heart (Barney Gumble) for success. She would later return to Springfield, a successful reporter who always told stories about her encounters with celebrities and claims to have had "flings" with Bill Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lisa would grow to admire Chloe, which worried Marge because she did not want Lisa dreaming about a future she could not have. Lisa decided to hide in Chloe's car and go to a UN Women's conference with her, but Chloe was rerouted to report on an erupting volcano. Lisa and Chloe both became trapped by lava from the erupting volcano, but Marge arrived and saved Lisa; however she did not save Chloe. Barney appeared with his helicopter and saved Chloe's life. After saying he sobered up, they agreed to a half-hour of pity sex, to which Barney replied, "Is there any other kind?"
'Cecil Terwilliger' is the younger brother of Robert Underdunk Terwilliger (Sideshow Bob). Cecil, voiced by David Hyde Pierce, and Robert, voiced by Kelsey Grammer, have a relationship similar to that of Niles and Frasier Crane, whom the actors played on the sitcom ''Frasier''. One of the throw-away jokes in Cecil's episode was a sly reference to Frasier: when Bart leapt upon Cecil's back and said "Guess who?", Cecil replied "Maris?" -- the name of Niles's never seen, but oft-mentioned, wife.
In the episode "Brother from Another Series", it is revealed that Cecil's dream was to become Krusty the Clown's sidekick on ''The Krusty the Clown Show''. Sideshow Bob mentions Cecil spent, "four years at clown college", to which Cecil replies, "I'd thank you not to refer to Princeton that way". Having all the mannerisms of Niles Crane, Krusty and the producers of his show immediately rejected Cecil during his audition. Cecil offered to perform his prepared "pie-in-the-face take" before he was ushered off-stage, but this did not change the producers' minds. It was then that Krusty spotted Robert, standing to the side in a fine suit. Krusty ordered a pie-in-the-face for him, the resulting impact knocking off Robert's top hat and causing his hair to spring up from under it. A hysteric Krusty declared "This man is going to change the way we think about getting hit by pies!" Krusty gave the sidekick job to Robert, who would forever be known as Sideshow Bob.
Afterwards, Cecil took a job as Springfield's "Chief Hydrological and Hydrodynamical Engineer", but he was always resentful of his brother. Years later, after Sideshow Bob was released from prison, Cecil hired him to work for his company building a new dam along the Springfield River. Cecil's true intentions, however, were to skim money from the dam project's contract, build a poor quality dam, and frame his brother for the resulting destruction. Cecil's plot was discovered by Bart and Lisa; both brothers were sent to prison, since no one would believe that Sideshow Bob was innocent (despite Bart and Lisa's testimonies).
Cecil also makes appearances in ''Simpsons Comics'', often as the cellmate of Sideshow Bob, and sometimes concocts evil schemes of his own. Since Bob is the enemy of Bart, Cecil has decided to become Lisa's enemy.
He is set to make his second appearance in the nineteenth season, eleven years after his first appearance.
Gina Vendetti is a young girl who is in a juvenile prison for girls, for pushing Snow White off the parapet at Disneyland. She is featured in the episode "The Wandering Juvie" and is voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Cargill attended Harvard University and became a highly successful businessman before deciding to become the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has been the least successful department of the government. After Homer pollutes Lake Springfield and causes the wildlife to mutate, Cargill presents this disturbing information to President Arnold Schwarznegger. Cargill presents five potential solutions to the issue, and Schwarznegger impulsively chooses one, which is to encase Springfield in a glass dome, produced by one of Cargill's companies. After the Simpson family escapes the dome, Cargill decides to employ security guards to patrol the dome and make rewards of the Simpson family for capture, causing his minions to realize he has become mentally insane with power. Cargill admits that he's has gone extremely insane with power, but still orders his department to patrol the dome and track down the family.
When the Springfield residents begin resisting, Cargill plans to bomb the entire town, hoping to transform the crater into the Second Grand Canyon. After tricking Schwarznegger into assisting his plan, Cargill arrests Marge and her children after realizing they were attempting to foil his plot with the help of the National Security Agency. Cargill places them inside the dome and orders a chopper to lower his special bomb into the dome. The townspeople attempt to escape while using Cletus Spuckler as a distraction, but Homer incidentally ruins their plan, and Cargill, seeing that he's was almost fooled, cynically says farewell and disappears. Homer and Bart then save the town from destruction by removing the bomb and destroying the dome. Homer and Bart landed safely after jumping over Springfield Gorge, where Cargill then appears with a shotgun, planning to murder them, only to be knocked unconscious by Maggie with a medium-sized boulder. His ultimate fate remains unknown.

'Colin' is a fictional character in ''The Simpsons Movie'', voiced by Tress MacNeille. Colin is an environmentalist who has recently moved to Springfield from Ireland and whose father is a musician (though he is not, as Colin repeatedly insists, Bono). Like Lisa, he too has trouble convincing people to clean up Springfield Lake until he meets her, with whom he teams up and presents a talk called "An Irritating Truth". Colin was seen in the angry mob holding a bouquet, which was burned into a torch by Carl Carlson. When the family escape the dome, Colin appears and plays a song for Lisa which she cannot hear, so he writes the notes on the glass. After Homer and Bart destroy the giant dome over Springfield, Milhouse tells Lisa that Colin was killed during the town's uproars sometime after the Simpsons left for Alaska, and that his last words were for him, Milhouse, to carry out their relationship for him, however, it is revealed to be a ruse Milhouse set up so he could be with Lisa, for Colin arrives to greet her while Milhouse describes his "death" but changes his mind by saying, "Got her all warmed up for you!". The audience is left with a strong indication that they will continue their relationship throughout the series, leaving the possibility of Colin becoming a recurring character. Colin clearly has feelings for Lisa, as does she for him. He is also a multi-talented musician/songwriter in his own right, having composed a song specifically for her.
The 'Medicine Woman' (known by Homer as the "'Boob Lady'") is a fictional character in ''The Simpsons Movie'', voiced by Tress MacNeille. She is an Inuit woman noted for her enormous breasts.
The Medicine Woman first appears in the Alaskan wild after Homer is attacked by a polar bear which she wards off, and she drags Homer into her tent. After reviving him she tells him that he must reach an epiphany or he is doomed to spend the remainder of his days alone. She begins a throat song and encourages Homer to join in, which he does. Soon he falls into a strange vision where her head appears on a totem pole and she tortures him. Homer soon reaches an epiphany and wakes up and thanks her, calling her "Boob Lady" in the process. Later in the movie when Homer is looking for his family, and becomes lost and weak due to the cold, the Medicine Woman appears in the sky and points him in the right direction with her gigantic breasts.
Some of these 'one-time' characters have returned to the show, sometimes in just brief speaking appearances, or even just 'in the crowd' scenes. Other characters, originally intended to be 'one-time' characters have ended up becoming regular cast members, such as Cletus Spuckler, Luigi Risotto, Disco Stu, Groundskeeper Willie, Cookie Kwan & Lindsey Naegle.
For purposes of this list, "one-time" means they were central to an episode one time. Some of the characters listed here have appeared in later episodes, but only briefly.

Aristotle Amadopoulos
Aristotle Amadopoulos with Homer
'Aristotle 'Ari' Amadopoulos' is fabulously wealthy and owns Shelbyville Nuclear Power Plant. He belongs to The Millionaire's Club, which runs on the Springfield Trade Center. Amadopoulos is voiced by Jon Lovitz and Dan Castellaneta. In Homer Defined, Homer Simpson, as Safety Inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant finds himself with an imminent nuclear meltdown situation. Having not paid attention in his formation, he cannot remember how to avert the situation, yet amazingly does so via an eeny, meeny, miny, moe which by chance leads him to press the correct button, much to the relief of the city of Springfield. Amadopoulos then invites Simpson to give a conference for his workers, in order for them to find their zest for work, in Amadopoulos' words, their "ine-hara-tu-na-doulevi" ("it's his pleasure to work" in Greek). However, an eerily similar situation occurs, as a meltdown threatens to strike Shelbyville. Amadopoulos instructs Simpson to do what he had done before. He does exactly that, by repeating the eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Amadopoulos was relieved, but is outraged that Homer used sheer luck to save them. He would later appear in Homer at the Bat, making a million dollar bet with Mr. Burns over the two plants' softball teams.
In "The Best of Simpsons" issue 30, in the story "Tanks for Nothing", he threatens nuclear war on Springfield after seeing on his spy satellite that there is a tank (that Abe got in compensation for not having Veterans tax) at Springfield power plant.
Amadopoulos' name comes from Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Lisa and Mr. Bergstrom became great friends, but after Ms. Hoover returned, he had to leave Springfield. A distraught Lisa ran to stop him, and Mr. Bergstrom gave her a note saying "You are Lisa Simpson". As his train sped off, Lisa (in a parody of one of Hoffman's iconic films, ''The Graduate'') raced after it. He is also known as Mr. Nerdstrom, Mr. Boogerstrom, or the Singing Dork (the former two nicknames he suggested to the class as "names they could use to make fun of him". The character was made to look like Simpsons writer, Mike Reiss.

The coyote tells Homer that he is on a quest and says he needs to find his soul mate. Homer states his soul mate is Marge, but the Coyote replies with "is it?" and runs off, leaving Homer confused. He also tried to gnaw on Homer's leg, citing the reason (when he is kicked away) that he is still a coyote. The Coyote was specifically modeled to look completely different from the rest of the characters, being designed with straight lines. Bob Dylan was originally wanted for the role, but he turned it down. In his book '', Chris Turner states that Johnny Cash as the coyote is his favorite guest performance. Outside the hallucination, The Space Coyote is just a talking dog who later pretends to not talk.

'Frank "Grimey" Grimes', was a 35-year-old character and was voiced by Hank Azaria.[1] His one and only appearance was in the episode "Homer's Enemy".[2] Frank Grimes is the consummate professional, which clashes with Homer Simpson's idiocy. After Mr. Burns saw his story on television, Grimes was recruited to become the executive vice-president of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Grimes was hired, but due to Mr. Burns hiring a heroic canine instead, was forced to work in Sector 7-G with Lenny, Carl, and Homer. Grimes soon became frustrated with the fact that, not only does Homer get away with an appalling amount of workplace offenses, but that he also seems to have achieved a more successful life through his laziness than Grimes has from his hard work. He consistently seems to experience the worst outcome of any situation in life. Attempting to humiliate Homer by placing him in a "Build a nuclear plant contest for kids", Grimes hoped everyone in the plant would laugh. Instead, his co-workers applauded Homer's victory. Finally, Grimes "snapped". He began acting like Homer, imitating his moronic behavior, culminating with touching a live electrical wire without safety gloves, fatally electrocuting himself. His last words were, "I don't need safety gloves because I'm Homer Simp-!"

He was Homer's mechanic in ''The Great Louse Detective''. However, when he found out Homer was behind his father's death, he decided to kill Homer. But after his first attempt on Homer's life, the Simpsons and the police hired Sideshow Bob to protect him, on the principle of 'sending a homicidal maniac to catch a homicidal maniac'. After a 2nd try, Grimes entered many cards with Homer's name on them into the Mardi Gras King election. When Homer was elected King, Grimes sabotaged the parade float on which he was to ride. At the last minute, Bob saved Homer after realizing the truth. The two cornered Grimes, who admitted the truth and was arrested by police. See Frank Grimes for more.

Although reluctant at first, Marge eventually joins him for brunch and he later invites her to his apartment. Marge is forced to choose between Jacques and Homer, and chooses Homer. Jacques' surname is derived from the fact that Marge's bowling ball is called 'Homer', as that was what was engraved on it, and when she saw 'Brunswick' on Jacques' ball she called him Mr. Brunswick, even though this is probably the make of the ball, and not Jacques' surname. Jacques later appeared in the episode Pin Pals where he is seen with Princess Kashmir losing a game against Homer and his bowling team.

Hank Scorpio
Hank Scorpio.
'Hank Scorpio' (voiced by Albert Brooks) is an evil genius and owner of Globex Corporation, appearing in the episode "You Only Move Twice",[3] a parody of the James Bond film ''You Only Live Twice''. His company offered Homer Simpson an ideal job and a new home for his family in the planned community of Cypress Creek. Scorpio, despite being an evil genius, proved to be an ideal boss, welcoming the Simpson family with a large gift basket and a friendly greeting. However, being an evil genius is still his priority, and over the episode he delivers a video threat to the United Nations, in which he destroys a bridge with a giant satellite laser device. Later, he tries to kill a Mr. "Bont" (a parody of James Bond) who cleverly escapes but is tackled by Homer before being rapidly executed in turn by Scorpio's guards. Scorpio's character parodies evil villains from James Bond movies. Unlike the Bond villains, Scorpio genuinely seems to care about the well-being of his people, though. The episode even has a Bond-esque closing song (a direct parody of the theme to ''Goldfinger''), which plays during the end credits and mainly talks about how well he treats his employees. In addition to his satellite laser (which Homer helped oversee), a reference was made to Weather Control and Bacteriological Warfare divisions within the Globex Corporation. In a newspaper headline it is revealed that he conquered the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Scorpio is considered to be Albert Brooks' best voice performance on ''The Simpsons'' and he was named the greatest guest star in the show's history by IGN,[4] with his performance as Scorpio being named as his best. According to the "You Only Move Twice" DVD commentary, Brooks ad-libbed many of his lines.

When the two were sent to a National Energy convention in Capital City, the two nearly had an affair, but despite his attraction to Simmons, Homer remained faithful to Marge. After Homer decided not to pursue a relationship, Simmons was fired because of alcohol abuse. Even after this was revealed in Another Simpsons Clip Show, she has still been used as a background character at the plant in subsequent episodes, suggesting she may have been rehired. She was part of the "Home Wreckers" bowling team seen in Team Homer. According to The Homer Book, she is the female equivalent of Homer, and likes cheeseburgers, a quick nap before lunch, foot-long chili dogs, whipped cream straight from the can, raspberry swirl doughnuts with a double glaze, and roasted anything. Her idea of heaven is sitting in front of the TV while drinking beer.
Beatrice Simmons
Bea Simmons and Abe Simpson.
'Beatrice Simmons' (voiced by Audrey Meadows) appeared in "Old Money". Grampa Simpson met her at the Springfield Retirement Castle help desk when the staff accidentally swaps their medications. It was love at first sight for Grampa, and they start dating. They arrange another date for Bea's birthday, but Grampa is forced to stand her up when Homer abducts him onto one of the family's once-a-month day trips to "Discount Lion Safari". When he returns to the Retirement Castle, Bea is dead. Jasper explains that Bea's left ventricle burst; she literally died from a broken heart. Grampa then learns that Bea left him thousands of dollars. He tells Homer to make him envious. While trying unsuccessfully to enjoy his inheritance, Grampa sees Bea's ghost who suggests he give it those that can after explaining to him that death is not so scary and that she is haunting a family in Texas. While interviewing potential candidates Lisa tells Grampa none of them deserve the money and tells him to use it to help the poor. Grampa visits areas of Springfield and realizes he doesn't have enough money to help them all. He decides to gamble to increase his money, but Homer stops him just before he loses it all. He forgives Homer, and after looking at the other seniors outside the casino, Grampa decides to use Bea's money to renovate the Retirement Castle. We then see that the Retirement Castle has become a beautiful place to live, featuring a brand new 'Beatrice Simmons Memorial Dining Hall' (in which Bea is mysteriously seen entering at the end of the episode).
Llewellyn & Ms. Sinclair
Llewellyn Sinclair
'Llewellyn Sinclair', the musical director of ''O Streetcar''; and his sister, 'Ms. Sinclair', head of the Ayn Rand School for Tots, both appeared in "A Streetcar Named Marge", and are voiced by Jon Lovitz.
Llewellyn is depicted as short-tempered and a perfectionist. Originally, Marge is turned down for the part of Blanche, but after seeing how sad she really is, he realizes she's perfect. He insinuates that he once reduced a class of fourth graders to tears but got a decent review. In the musical, he plays Pablo, which was originally played by Otto but Otto "didn't work out". In the end, the musical is a success, which Llewelyn takes all the credit for. Llewellyn has since made two appearances. He appeared briefly in "Sweets and Sour Marge" as one of the townspeople in the pyramid and again in "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner" along with several other Lovitz voiced characters.
His sister, known only as 'Ms. Sinclair', also voiced by Jon Lovitz, runs the local nursery The Ayn Rand School for Tots. She has modelled the workings of the school after the philosophies of Ayn Rand and tries "to develop the bottle within." Posters referring to Rand's ideas are hung throughout the nursery, including "A is A" and "Helping is Futile." She is also opposed to pacifiers, causing Maggie to rebel and retrieve her pacifier in a manner similar to the escape of the POWs in ''The Great Escape''. She has not been seen since.
Sgt. Seymour Skinner
The Real Seymour Skinner with "Armin Tamzarian"
Voiced by Martin Sheen in "The Principal and the Pauper", the original Seymour Skinner (Springfield Elementary School's principal is actually named Armin Tamzarian). The real Skinner and Armin Tamzarian were buddies in the Vietnam War. Skinner took Tamzarian under his wing and turned him from a rebel into a responsible adult. Skinner would later disappear on a mission. Tamzarian, assuming Skinner was dead, decided to report the death to Skinner's mother. However, she thought Tamzarian was Skinner, who not wanting to sadden her, played along. After many years, the real Skinner was released from a POW camp and returned to Springfield, where he took his life back. In the end, the citizens of Springfield rode him out of town on a rail, in favour of Tamzarian, who was then legally renamed ''Seymour Skinner''. The "real" Seymour Skinner has not appeared again.
All the events in this episode were forbidden from being mentioned again, under penalty of torture. The only time this rule has been broken since was in "I, D'oh-Bot", when Lisa refers to Principal Skinner as "Principal Tamzarian". (Lisa apparently avoided the stiff penalty for this infraction because only Skinner heard her.) This was a self-referential joke, since "I, D'oh-Bot" used the same plot device of making a major change to the Simpsons' world, then effectively erasing the change within the same episode.
Lucius Sweet
'Lucius Sweet' (voiced by Paul Winfield) is a parody of Don King. (It was said that Sweet is "exactly as rich and famous as Don King and looks just like him too." Incidentally, Winfield also played Don King in the 1995 TV movie ''Tyson''.) Sweet first appeared in the Season 8 episode "The Homer They Fall". Lucius learned of Homer's talent when Homer started boxing. He promoted Drederick Tatum (a parody of Mike Tyson), who ultimately defeated Homer.
Sweet also has a small appearance in the Season 9 episode "The Trouble with Trillions" and was also seen in the Afro-American church in the episode "Milhouse of Sand and Fog" as well as a guest at Krusty the Klown's funeral in "Bart the Fink".
Chloe Talbot
Chloe Talbot
'Chloe Talbot' is a one-time character from the episode "She Used to Be My Girl", and was voiced by Kim Cattrall. She is a famous, Peabody Award winning reporter from the Global Television Network. She went to high school with Marge and the two were best friends. They were both star reporters and had promising futures, however Marge decided to stay with Homer, but Chloe abandoned her sweet-heart (Barney Gumble) for success. She would later return to Springfield, a successful reporter who always told stories about her encounters with celebrities and claims to have had "flings" with Bill Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lisa would grow to admire Chloe, which worried Marge because she did not want Lisa dreaming about a future she could not have. Lisa decided to hide in Chloe's car and go to a UN Women's conference with her, but Chloe was rerouted to report on an erupting volcano. Lisa and Chloe both became trapped by lava from the erupting volcano, but Marge arrived and saved Lisa; however she did not save Chloe. Barney appeared with his helicopter and saved Chloe's life. After saying he sobered up, they agreed to a half-hour of pity sex, to which Barney replied, "Is there any other kind?"
Cecil Terwilliger
Cecil Terwilliger
'Cecil Terwilliger' is the younger brother of Robert Underdunk Terwilliger (Sideshow Bob). Cecil, voiced by David Hyde Pierce, and Robert, voiced by Kelsey Grammer, have a relationship similar to that of Niles and Frasier Crane, whom the actors played on the sitcom ''Frasier''. One of the throw-away jokes in Cecil's episode was a sly reference to Frasier: when Bart leapt upon Cecil's back and said "Guess who?", Cecil replied "Maris?" -- the name of Niles's never seen, but oft-mentioned, wife.
In the episode "Brother from Another Series", it is revealed that Cecil's dream was to become Krusty the Clown's sidekick on ''The Krusty the Clown Show''. Sideshow Bob mentions Cecil spent, "four years at clown college", to which Cecil replies, "I'd thank you not to refer to Princeton that way". Having all the mannerisms of Niles Crane, Krusty and the producers of his show immediately rejected Cecil during his audition. Cecil offered to perform his prepared "pie-in-the-face take" before he was ushered off-stage, but this did not change the producers' minds. It was then that Krusty spotted Robert, standing to the side in a fine suit. Krusty ordered a pie-in-the-face for him, the resulting impact knocking off Robert's top hat and causing his hair to spring up from under it. A hysteric Krusty declared "This man is going to change the way we think about getting hit by pies!" Krusty gave the sidekick job to Robert, who would forever be known as Sideshow Bob.
Afterwards, Cecil took a job as Springfield's "Chief Hydrological and Hydrodynamical Engineer", but he was always resentful of his brother. Years later, after Sideshow Bob was released from prison, Cecil hired him to work for his company building a new dam along the Springfield River. Cecil's true intentions, however, were to skim money from the dam project's contract, build a poor quality dam, and frame his brother for the resulting destruction. Cecil's plot was discovered by Bart and Lisa; both brothers were sent to prison, since no one would believe that Sideshow Bob was innocent (despite Bart and Lisa's testimonies).
Cecil also makes appearances in ''Simpsons Comics'', often as the cellmate of Sideshow Bob, and sometimes concocts evil schemes of his own. Since Bob is the enemy of Bart, Cecil has decided to become Lisa's enemy.
He is set to make his second appearance in the nineteenth season, eleven years after his first appearance.

In order to win her back Bart accepts an offer made by Mr. Burns to attend Yale on a scholarship, originally intended for Lisa. Jenda takes him back because he now has the scholarship and is "someone". Lisa, on the other hand, resigns herself to a life with Milhouse. Bart and Jenda take a walk and Jenda pressures Bart have sex with her. Bart spots Dr. Frink's house, remembering the astrology machine in the basement, and sees the dismal future Lisa has in store. Jenda is upset and demanding as she wanted to have sex with Bart and gives him an ultimatum: either Bart will take her now, or leave her to save Lisa's future.

'Gretchen "Greta" Wolfcastle' (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) is the daughter of famous actor Rainier Wolfcastle. She first appeared on "The Bart Wants What It Wants" as the romantic interest of Bart. After Bart decided she was becoming too needy, he broke up with her, which led to Greta dating Milhouse to get back at him. Bart, now jealous, decided to do everything he could to win her back and followed her to Canada where he and Milhouse got into a fight during a curling game.

She goes to Dr. Zweig (who Homer fears will blame all Marge's problems on him) who charges Marge 30 dollars an hour. The doctor dives deep into Marges psyche and discovers that the fact that her father was a steward is to blame, and just as she is about to start discussing Marge's husband, Homer runs in and pulls her away. Dr. Zweig is typically calm, but becomes especially passionate when describing that the Monkees symbolized rebellion and when she discovers that Marge's cheque bounced. Despite all the help, Marge thinks Zweig's name is "Lowenstein" (Referencing the psychiatrist, Dr. Susan Lowenstein, of ''The Prince of Tides'').

''The Simpsons Movie'' characters
Russ Cargill
Russ Cargill
'Russ Cargill' is a fictional character in ''The Simpsons Movie'', voiced by Albert Brooks. He is the main villain of the film.
Cargill attended Harvard University and became a highly successful businessman before deciding to become the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has been the least successful department of the government. After Homer pollutes Lake Springfield and causes the wildlife to mutate, Cargill presents this disturbing information to President Arnold Schwarznegger. Cargill presents five potential solutions to the issue, and Schwarznegger impulsively chooses one, which is to encase Springfield in a glass dome, produced by one of Cargill's companies. After the Simpson family escapes the dome, Cargill decides to employ security guards to patrol the dome and make rewards of the Simpson family for capture, causing his minions to realize he has become mentally insane with power. Cargill admits that he's has gone extremely insane with power, but still orders his department to patrol the dome and track down the family.
When the Springfield residents begin resisting, Cargill plans to bomb the entire town, hoping to transform the crater into the Second Grand Canyon. After tricking Schwarznegger into assisting his plan, Cargill arrests Marge and her children after realizing they were attempting to foil his plot with the help of the National Security Agency. Cargill places them inside the dome and orders a chopper to lower his special bomb into the dome. The townspeople attempt to escape while using Cletus Spuckler as a distraction, but Homer incidentally ruins their plan, and Cargill, seeing that he's was almost fooled, cynically says farewell and disappears. Homer and Bart then save the town from destruction by removing the bomb and destroying the dome. Homer and Bart landed safely after jumping over Springfield Gorge, where Cargill then appears with a shotgun, planning to murder them, only to be knocked unconscious by Maggie with a medium-sized boulder. His ultimate fate remains unknown.
Colin

Colin
'Colin' is a fictional character in ''The Simpsons Movie'', voiced by Tress MacNeille. Colin is an environmentalist who has recently moved to Springfield from Ireland and whose father is a musician (though he is not, as Colin repeatedly insists, Bono). Like Lisa, he too has trouble convincing people to clean up Springfield Lake until he meets her, with whom he teams up and presents a talk called "An Irritating Truth". Colin was seen in the angry mob holding a bouquet, which was burned into a torch by Carl Carlson. When the family escape the dome, Colin appears and plays a song for Lisa which she cannot hear, so he writes the notes on the glass. After Homer and Bart destroy the giant dome over Springfield, Milhouse tells Lisa that Colin was killed during the town's uproars sometime after the Simpsons left for Alaska, and that his last words were for him, Milhouse, to carry out their relationship for him, however, it is revealed to be a ruse Milhouse set up so he could be with Lisa, for Colin arrives to greet her while Milhouse describes his "death" but changes his mind by saying, "Got her all warmed up for you!". The audience is left with a strong indication that they will continue their relationship throughout the series, leaving the possibility of Colin becoming a recurring character. Colin clearly has feelings for Lisa, as does she for him. He is also a multi-talented musician/songwriter in his own right, having composed a song specifically for her.
Medicine Woman
The Medicine Woman appearing in the night sky and pointing the direction to Springfield by swinging her breasts.
The 'Medicine Woman' (known by Homer as the "'Boob Lady'") is a fictional character in ''The Simpsons Movie'', voiced by Tress MacNeille. She is an Inuit woman noted for her enormous breasts.
The Medicine Woman first appears in the Alaskan wild after Homer is attacked by a polar bear which she wards off, and she drags Homer into her tent.

Soon he falls into a strange vision where her head appears on a totem pole and she tortures him. Homer soon reaches an epiphany and wakes up and thanks her, calling her "Boob Lady" in the process. Later in the movie when Homer is looking for his family, and becomes lost and weak due to the cold, the Medicine Woman appears in the sky and points him in the right direction with her gigantic breasts.
