> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bryan Ekers \* > **Actually, that was the _Simpsons_ episode when Jay Sherman was invited to Springfield to judge the film festival. Immediately after showing the clip, Sherman interviewed Ranier Wolfcastle and panned his movie, prompting Wolfcastle to threaten Sherman and send him scurrying to Springfield in order to get out of New York for a while.** “Your shoes are untied.” “From here, they appear to be tied, but I will go in for a closer look.” (Sherman runs away. Time passes.) “Upon closer inspection, these are loafers.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Max Torque \* > \*\*His voice is identical to the versions of Charles Bronson that we’ve seen on the show. Remember when they screwed up and instead of Branson, Missouri they went to Bronson, Missouri? \*\* Indeed, and Matt Groening confirms this on the commentary of a DVD I saw recently, I think it was the second season. He says something along the lines of: “I don’t know how that Charles Bronson character got into so many episodes but we just loved the voice” - totally not word for word but that was the jist of what he said. — G. ---

Sorry for the hijack: Was Ranier Wolfcastle’s voice done by Phil Hartman? It would be a shame to never see that character again now that Ah-nold is governor of Cali. ---

Ranier’s done by Dan Castlenetta (yeah, I spelled it wrong), voice of Homer, Ned, Lovejoy, Skinner, and others, IIRC. ---
