Ok, it can’t really have been Homer Simpson, can it, because he’s a cartoon. But I did exchange a greeting with the bloke who is the voice of the character, Dan Castellanata.
He’s currently appearing in a bizarre play/musical thing called The Bicyclemen at the King’s Head Theatre in Islington. As I made my way back upstairs from the bogs before it started, I met this slight, baldy geezer at the top of the stairs. I mumbled something like “I’m lost; which way to the bar?” and he replied “We’re on in about 10 minutes”. I bet he’s telling his mates how he met Seosamh tonight…
I would love to meet him, just so I could gush about how much I loved him in The War of the Roses and act dumb as to ever having heard his name anywhere else.

I’d praise his performance as the gay guy on Married…with Children. “But what have you done lately?”
You met the guy that voiced BeelzeBot (the Robot Devil) in Futurama? very cool :), the man has talent, maybe he should talk to Matt Groening about starring in another MG cartoon, it’d be a pity to see his talent go to waste…

Maybe he’s one of those talents who doesn’t seek work till it’s time to fatten up the coffers?
I have no problem with that, BTW.
He certainly didn’t do any Homer Simpson last night in “The Bicyclemen”.
Although he did do a song about a Broadway chorus boy who insisted (very inconvincingly) that he was “hetero”… I cannot for the life of me remember how such a song was shoehorned into a thing about a bloke hanging around a bonkers French village while his bicycle is being fixed.
He had a cute cameo in **Arrested Development **also. I am sure that he has fully accepted his fate as being Home Simpson with the world, but it’s nice to see him do other parts also.
