The Might Stephen Hawking?

Hawking also played himself in an episode of StarTrek TNG.

To be nitpicky, he played a hologram of himself. Maybe the only time that a real person has portrayed a fake version of themselves.

**slight hijack-

Yes, Hawking was a guest star on the Simpsons. Erroneous, your name befits you, but have no fear. It’s a popularly held misconception that Jackson did the voice for that Simpsons episode. The listing was one John Paul Jay (I’m pretty sure), who also was given a credit in the Flaming Moe episode, as the singer of the fake Cheers theme “Flaming Moe’s”.

And yes, Dustin Hoffman was indeed the infamous “Sam Etic”. With jokes like that, how could the simpsons have gone wrong? **

Speaking voice-Michael Jackson
Singing voice-NOT Michael Jackson

In one episode, Lisa references this with her thoughts on the Itchy and Scratchy Movie, saying it had all sorts of famous celebrities: “Michael Jackson, Dustin Hoffman…they didn’t use their real names, but you could tell it was them.”

I stand corrected…

You know… it is possible to be too nitpicky… [wink]
