Guest Voices Announced for The Simpsons
---------------------------------------
The list of impressive and eclectic guest voices
continues to grow, with actors like Kiefer Sutherland,
Natalie Portman, Michael Imperioli, Joe Pantoliano,
Joe Mantegna, The White Stripes and Dr. Phil McGraw
making voice appearances next season on "The Simpsons"
airing Sundays (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Homer becomes a made man in the 18th season premiere
episode "The Mook, The Chef, The Wife And His Homer,"
airing Sunday, Sept. 10 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). After
Lisa befriends Fat Tony's (Mantegna, reprising his
role as Springfield's infamous mob boss) son Michael,
Fat Tony invites the Simpsons over for dinner as a
sign of gratitude. Shockingly, Fat Tony is shot by a
rival family moments after Michael admits he would
rather be a chef than take over the family business.
Fat Tony's main thugs, Dante and Dante Jr. (guest
voices Pantoliano and Imperioli), want Michael to be
the new kingpin, but when he declines, Homer steps up
and leads the family on a major mob spree.

The White Stripes guest-star as themselves in "Jazzy
And The Pussycats" Sunday, Sept. 17. After Bart's arm
is mangled by a tiger that Lisa rescued from the
local pound, Bart organizes a benefit concert to
raise money for an operation to repair his drumming
arm.

Dr. Phil McGraw, Fran Drescher and comedian Richard
Lewis stir up tricks and treats in the annual
"ghoultide" Halloween trilogy, "Treehouse of Horror
XVII," Sunday, Nov. 5.

In "GI (Annoyed Grunt)," Sunday, Nov. 12, after Bart
gets out of a commitment to join the Army at 18, Homer
falls prey to a couple of Army recruiters and lands
himself in basic training. Homer, of course, treats
this like summer camp and infuriates his hard-nosed
colonel (Sutherland) when he is unfazed by the
constant hazing and humiliation.

Other upcoming guest voices include famed authors
Tom Wolfe, Gore Vidal, Michael Chabon and Jonathan
Franzen. Later in the season, Portman, Lovitz, White,
Hamlin and Idle also pay Springfield a visit.
