I’ve had a poster of him in my bedroom ever since.”Speaking about the episode last year, co-writer Johnny LaZebnik, who was the inspiration for Smithers’ original coming-out episode, said: “So often, gay romances are a subplot or alluded to or shown in some kind of montage or as a punchline.

Harry Shearer voices many characters on The Simpsons and was recently replaced as the voice of Dr. Hibbert.

Fans of The Simpsons have been left shocked by how the voice of Mr. Burns sounds in the latest season of the show.The FOX series has been running for more than three decades, and as a result much of the voice cast have gotten considerably older than when the first season aired.Mr.Burns hasn’t always been played by the same actor, with the late Christopher Collins being the first to take on the iconic role.He was later taken over by Harry Shearer, who also provides the voice for characters including Principal Skinner, Kent Brockman, Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders and Reverend Lovejoy, among others.Shearer, who is now 80-years-old, continues to voice characters in what is now the 35th season and a clip from the latest episode has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.Fans have claimed Burns sounds nothing like he once used to, and many have taken to social media to urge Fox to “let the show rest in peace”.“Burns’ voice is just brutal man.

It took Waylon Smithers until 2016 to come out as gay, and now “The Simpsons” will feature Mr. Burns’ loyal lackey in a storyline in which he finally finds love.
