@UltraSilver64 9 месяцев назад

No, Zap was voiced by Billy West. However, he did revoice Lionel and Troy in Virtual Springfield and voiced the main protagonist Captain Blasto in the game Blasto. Phil (like many voice actors) had a unique voice, but if he had been cast to voice Zap, Billy West done a quite good version of Phil's voice.

That is so sad to hear what actually happened to the late actor Phil Hartman died on May 28, 1998. He last appeared in the season ten episode "Bart the Mother". Before his death, Phil Hartman had often expressed an interest in starring in a live action film about McClure, with several of the show's writers wanting to help make it. Hartman was cast before his death as Zapp Brannigan in Matt Groening's Futurama. Billy West took over the role, and based his vocal performance on Hartman's characterizations, particularly McClure. We'll miss you Phil Hartman. 😢

Really, Matt Groening was so concerned about the crossover show with "The Critic" that he feared criticism from the audience. I guess he got over that after letting the show run way past its prime. And I guess I am lucky that I have "Stark Raving Dad" because I bought the DVDs as soon as they came out.

Looks like the catalog of Simpsons episodes will always be as incomplete as Lisa's poem "Meditations on Turning Eight" in that very episode.

I wonder if that fan who was so upset over the reference to Bart's having Tourette's ever watched the "South Park" episode where Cartman fakes Tourette's so he can actually go around spewing his usual offensive comments without repercussions? Granted, the "South Park" episode aired 14 years later but I'd think the same fan who was ready (at 13) to pursue litigation against Fox, invoking the ADA, would've really gone after Matt and Trey over Cartman's far more egregious behavior.

From my understanding it was about making a point, how they didn’t appreciate her asking for more so wanted the door closed on her having any chance to come back and do that character. It was more of a payback thing like with chef on South Park. At least that’s how other videos and articles have framed it over the years.
