Early life
[
edit
]
Daniel Louis Castellaneta was born on October 29, 1957, at Roseland Community Hospital on Chicago's south side and was raised in
River Forest
and
Oak Park, Illinois
.
[1]
[2]
[3]
He is of
Italian
descent, born to Elsie (
nee
Lagorio
; 1926?2008) and Louis Castellaneta (1915?2014),
[4]
[5]
[6]
an amateur actor who worked for a printing company.
[7]
Castellaneta became adept at impressions at a young age and his mother enrolled him in an acting class when he was 16 years old. He would listen to his father's comedy records and do impressions of the artists.
[7]
He was a "devotee" of the works of many performers, including
Alan Arkin
and
Barbara Harris
and directors
Mike Nichols
and
Elaine May
.
[2]
He attended
Oak Park and River Forest High School
[8]
and upon graduation, started attending
Northern Illinois University
(NIU) in the fall of 1975.
[9]
Castellaneta studied art education, with the goal of becoming an art teacher.
[7]
He became a
student teacher
and would entertain his students with his impressions.
[2]
[7]
Castellaneta was a regular participant in
The Ron Petke and His Dead Uncle Show
, a radio show at NIU. The show helped Castellaneta hone his skills as a voice-over actor. He recalled "We did parodies and sketches, we would double up on, so you learned to switch between voices. I got my feet wet doing a voiceover. The show was just barely audible, but we didn't care. It was that we got a chance to do it and write our own material."
[9]
He took a play-writing class and auditioned for an improvisational show. A classmate first thought Castellaneta would "fall on his face with improvisation" but soon "was churning out material faster than [they] could make it work."
[9]
Career
[
edit
]
Early career
[
edit
]
Castellaneta began his acting career after his graduation from
Northern Illinois University
in 1979.
[7]
He decided that if his career went nowhere he would still have a chance to try something else.
[7]
He began taking
improvisation
classes, where he met his future wife
Deb Lacusta
. He started to work at
The Second City
, an improvisational theatre in
Chicago
, in 1983 and continued to work there until 1987.
[2]
During this period, he did voice-over work with his wife for various radio stations.
[7]
He auditioned for a role in
The Tracey Ullman Show
and his first meeting underwhelmed
Tracey Ullman
and the other producers. Ullman decided to fly to Chicago to watch Castellaneta perform. His performance that night was about a
blind
man who tries to become a comedian and Ullman later recalled that although there were flashier performances that night, Castellaneta made her cry. She was impressed and Castellaneta was hired.
[2]
The Simpsons
[
edit
]
Castellaneta is most famous for his roles on the longest-running American animated television show
The Simpsons
, most notably as
Homer Simpson
.
The Tracey Ullman Show
included a series of animated shorts about a
dysfunctional family
. Voices were needed for the shorts, so the producers decided to ask Castellaneta and fellow cast member
Julie Kavner
to voice Homer and
Marge Simpson
respectively, rather than hire more actors.
[7]
[10]
Homer's voice began as a loose impression of
Walter Matthau
, but Castellaneta could not "get enough power behind that voice" and could not sustain his Matthau impression for the nine- to ten-hour long recording sessions.
[11]
He tried to find something easier, so he "dropped the voice down", and developed it into a more versatile and humorous voice during the second and third season of the half-hour show.
[2]
[12]
To perform Homer's voice, Castellaneta lowers his chin to his chest,
[7]
and is said to "let his IQ go."
[13]
Castellaneta likes to
stay in character
during recording sessions,
[14]
and tries to visualize a scene in his mind so that he can give the proper voice to it.
[15]
Despite Homer's fame, Castellaneta claims he is rarely recognized in public, "except, maybe, by a die-hard fan."
[14]
Castellaneta with fellow
Simpsons
voice actors
Nancy Cartwright
,
Yeardley Smith
and
Julie Kavner
in 2009
Castellaneta also provides the voices for numerous other characters, including
Grampa Simpson
,
Barney Gumble
,
Krusty the Clown
,
[16]
Groundskeeper Willie
,
Mayor Quimby
,
Hans Moleman
,
Sideshow Mel
,
Itchy
,
Kodos
,
Arnie Pye
, the
Squeaky Voiced Teen
and
Gil Gunderson
. Krusty's voice is based on Chicago television's
Bob Bell
, who had a very raspy voice and portrayed
WGN-TV
's
Bozo the Clown
from 1960 to 1984.
[17]
During early recording sessions, he recorded a new version of Barney's loud trademark belch for every episode but discovered that it was not easy for him to belch each time a script called for it. Castellaneta chose a recording of what he believed was his best belch and told the producers to make that the standard.
[18]
Groundskeeper Willie's first appearance was in the
season two
episode "
Principal Charming
". The character was written as an angry janitor and Castellaneta was assigned to perform the voice. He did not know what voice to use and
Sam Simon
, who was directing at the time, suggested he use an accent. Castellaneta first tried using Hispanic voicing, which Simon felt was too
cliched
. He then tried a "big dumb
Swede
", which was also rejected. For his third try, he used the voice of a grumpy
Scotsman
, which was deemed appropriate enough and was used in the episode.
[19]
The voice was based partially on Angus Crock, a
kilt
-wearing chef from the sketch comedy show
Second City Television
, who was portrayed by
Dave Thomas
.
[20]
Mayor Quimby, who first appeared in "
Bart Gets an 'F'
"
, is a parody of various members of the
Kennedy family
. The episode script did not call for Quimby to be a parody of them, and Castellaneta improvised the accent.
[21]
Sideshow Mel's voice is Castellaneta's impression of
Kelsey Grammer
, the voice of
Sideshow Bob
.
[22]
Hapless Gil Gunderson is a spoof of actor
Jack Lemmon
's portrayal of Shelley Levene in the 1992
film adaptation
of the play
Glengarry Glen Ross
.
[23]
Showrunner
Mike Scully
thought that Gil would be "a one-shot thing"
[24]
but "Dan Castellaneta was so funny at the
table read
doing the character, we kept making up excuses in subsequent episodes to put him in."
[23]
The
Blue-Haired Lawyer
's voice, as well as his demeanor, is based on lawyer
Roy Cohn
.
[25]
Castellaneta has won several awards for voicing Homer, including four
Primetime Emmy Awards
for "
Outstanding Voice-Over Performance
" in 1992 for "
Lisa's Pony
", 1993 for "
Mr. Plow
",
[26]
2004 for voicing several characters in "
Today I Am a Clown
",
[27]
and 2009 for voicing Homer in "
Father Knows Worst
".
[28]
In 1993, Castellaneta was given a special
Annie Award
, "Outstanding Individual Achievement in the Field of Animation", for his work as Homer on
The Simpsons
.
[29]
[30]
In 2004, Castellaneta and
Julie Kavner
(the voice of Marge) won a
Young Artist Award
for "Most Popular Mom & Dad in a TV Series".
[31]
Homer was placed second on
TV Guide
'
s 2002 Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters,
[32]
and in 2000, Homer and the rest of the Simpson family were awarded a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame
located at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard.
[33]
Until 1998, Castellaneta was paid $30,000 per episode.
[34]
During a pay dispute in 1998, Fox threatened to replace the six main voice actors with new actors, going as far as preparing for casting of new voices.
[34]
The dispute was soon resolved and he received $125,000 per episode until 2004 when the voice actors demanded that they be paid $360,000 an episode.
[34]
The issue was resolved a month later,
[35]
and Castellaneta earned $250,000 per episode.
[36]
Following salary re-negotiations in 2008, the voice actors received approximately $400,000 per episode.
[37]
Three years later, with Fox threatening to cancel the series unless production costs were cut, Castellaneta and the other cast members accepted a 25 percent pay cut, down to over $300,000 per episode.
[38]
In the early 1990s, Castellaneta and Deb Lacusta wrote a script for an episode in which Barney becomes
sober
. They pitched their idea to
showrunner
Al Jean
. Jean liked the story, but turned it down because he felt that it was too similar to "
Duffless
", an episode that the writers were already working on. They waited several years and offered their script, which they updated, to then-show runner
Mike Scully
, who liked it and had them make a few changes.
[39]
Their script became the
eleventh season
episode "
Days of Wine and D'oh'ses
", which first aired April 9, 2000.
[40]
Castellaneta and his wife have also written the episodes "
Gump Roast
", "
The Ziff Who Came to Dinner
", "
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore
", and "
The Fight Before Christmas
". In
2007
, they were nominated for a
Writers Guild of America Award
for the episode "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bangalore".
[41]
Castellaneta is also credited as a consulting producer.
[42]

[12]

Two Lips
was published.
[56]
It was followed on April 23, 2002, by his first comedy CD,
I Am Not Homer
, in which he and his wife perform several comedy skits. The majority of the sketches had been written and performed before the CD was recorded, and Castellaneta thought that it would be a good idea to preserve them "since [he and Lacusta] don't perform them much anymore."
[57]
Some came from their sketch series on a local radio station in Chicago and had to be lengthened from the "two-minute bits" that they were original, while several others were stage sketches performed in a comedy club in
Santa Monica
.
[58]
Additionally, "Citizen Kane", a sketch in which two people discuss the film
Citizen Kane
with different meanings, was something the pair had performed at an art gallery.
[58]
Castellaneta noted that "we already knew that these skits were funny, [but] some of them we polished and tightened."
[58]
The skits were principally written by improvising from a basic point, transcribing the results, and then editing them to the finished scene.
[58]
Castellaneta chose the title
I Am Not Homer
as a parody of
Leonard Nimoy
's famous first autobiography
I Am Not Spock
, as well as to show that most of the comedy featured "is not the typical
Homer
comedy."
[57]
Alongside his television and film work, Castellaneta has appeared in a number of theatrical productions. In 1992, he starred in
Deb & Dan's Show
alongside his wife.
[59]
In 1995, Castellaneta started writing
Where Did Vincent van Gogh?
, a
one man play
in which he portrays a dozen different characters, including artist
Vincent van Gogh
.
[60]
He first officially performed the play at the
ACME Comedy Theatre
in Los Angeles in 1999.

The Bicycle Men
