Other Dead Simpsons Character?
Keith M. Kurzman
Quick question for the alt.tv.simpsons cognezcenti. Cognesenti.
Cognecenti. People in the know:
Aside from Phil Hartman and Doris Grau, was there another person who died
who played a recurring character? One who died early in the run and was
replaced? If so, who? Did I just dream it?

P.S.
Cognicenti? Arrgh....

Chris Collins, also known as Chris Latta, whose true gift to voice
acting was through Cobra Commander and Starscream...

He was Cobra Commander eh? Hehe, that sure brings back grade school memories...

Christopher Collins voiced Mr. Burns and Moe for two episodes
in the first season -- I think they were "Some Enchanted Evening" and
"Homer's Odyssey", although I could be mistaken -- and he died
sometime in 1994.

Really? Wow. Who does his voice now? Azaria? And can you describe those two
eps?

Harry Shearer does Mr. Burns and Hank Azaria does Moe.
"Homer's Odyssey" is the one where Homer is worried about public safety
and becomes the safety inspector at the plant.

"Some Enchanted Evening" is the babysitter bandit episode.

OK, can somebody confirm that Chris Latta and Christopher Collins are one and
the same?
The International Movie Database (www.imdb.com) has two different entries for
these guys, and two different dates of death!
What gives? I'd like correct this, if anybody has some solid info.

On NBC's Later, Hank Azaria talked about how a different actor played Moe in
early episodes, and that the producers "didn't like the guy".

They're definitely the same person. He was born Christopher Latta, then his name
was changed to Collins when his stepfather adopted him.
To make the record straight, yes, he is my father.

From what Chris (my father) told me, Sam Simon hated him, and he got along well
with Matt Groening.

Wow, it's nice to talk to you. I was a BIG fan of Statscream! :)
I'd like to update his International Movie Database profile then.
Which name did he go by more often? Should I have him listed as Latta or
Collins?
Could you give me his date of birth and date of death?
You should stop by "alt.toys.transformers" sometime. Everybody there LOVED
Chris and were greatly saddened by his passing. They'd love to hear from you!
