The Simpsons voice actors
All episodes (with the exception of one) list
only the voice actors (not the characters they voice) in keeping with the
mystique of having the audience not associate any one character with an actor —
this is to discourage the audience from easily identifying exactly which voice
actor did what. Yeardley Smith and Marcia Wallace are the only cast members who
only do one voice.
Here is a list of all the major voice actors
and the characters they voice:
