Who are the cast of The Simpsons?

The American animated sitcom The Simpsons was created by Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The titular characters Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie comprise the Simpsons family in this satirical portrayal of American society. It is set in an unspecified location within the United States, in the fictitious town of Springfield, and satirises Western culture, society, television, and the human condition.

Marge's sisters Patty and Selma Bouvier, Homer's father Abraham "Grampa" Simpson, and the family's two pets, Santa's Little Helper and Snowball V, all play significant supporting roles besides the five primary family members. Marge's mother, Jacqueline Bouvier; Homer's mother, Mona Simpson; his half-brother, Herb Powell, and minor relatives are some of the other, less well-known relatives who rarely appear.

The main cast of The Simpsons

Homer Simpson

The American actor Daniel Louis Castellaneta, better known as Dan Castella, voices Homer Simpson in the series. Besides Homer, Castellaneta has voiced several other side characters in the series.

Homer Jay Simpson is the main character of the show and the father of the Simpson family. He represents traditions associated with the American working class: he is ignorant, overweight, dumb, awkward, careless, and somewhat alcoholic.

Marge Simpson

The American actress Julie Deborah Kavner voices Marge Simpson in the show. Kavner first gained recognition for voicing Brenda Morgenstern, the younger sister of Valerie Harper's titular character in the sitcom Rhoda, before rising to popularity as Marge Simpson.

Homer's wife, Marjorie Jacqueline "Marge" Simpson, is a kind and patient woman. She is the mother of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. She frequently speaks the voice of reason, yet, in contrast to the other family members who are conscious of their bizarre behaviors, she shows the exaggerated behavioral features of conventional moms and takes the obvious dysfunctionality of her family for granted.

Bart Simpson

The American actress Nancy Jean Cartwright voices Bart Simpson in the series. She also voices a few other supporting characters in the series. For her work in The Simpsons, Cartwright has won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance and an Annie Award for Best Voice Acting in the Field of Animation.

Bartholomew Jojo "Bart" Simpson is the family's eldest child. Bart's quick wit, disrespect for authority, mischievousness, and rebelliousness are his most notable character traits.

Lisa Simpson

The American actress Martha Maria Yeardley Smith voices Lisa Simpson in the series. She won a 1992 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for her work on The Simpsons.

Lisa Marie Simpson, eight years old, is the family's middle child and eldest daughter. She holds liberal political views. After choosing to follow the Noble Eightfold Path, Lisa became a practising Buddhist. She is a vegetarian and supports the Free Tibet campaign, but she still supports the Christian church where she was raised.

Maggie Simpson

Maggie is a toddler who rarely speaks. Thus, she has been voiced by several actors such as Jodie Foster, Elizabeth Taylor, James Earl Jones, Harry Shearer, Yeardley Smith, and Nancy Cartwright. Margaret Lenny "Maggie" Simpson is the youngest of the five major family members.
