How about Louie Anderson as Chief Wiggum? They have the exact same voice! LOL (Eve, let’s not give Hank Azaria any more work than we have to, especially when we’d be forced to SEE him.) Anyone want to tackle Professor Frinck? (I like Joan Cusack as Mrs. Krabappel…good one!) ---

Larry “Bud” Melman is a GREAT choice IMHO, I can just see it… he needs a tan though Eve, you are so right… maybe if you voice a character for too long, you start to LOOK like them! They all do THE BEST job. Dan Castellaneta really has a LOT of talent. Julie Kavner is a little bit hard for me to picture as Marge though… Christopher Guest might make a good Apu, I just know him from Best In Show, hahaha, love that movie! ---
