Homer Simpson and Me
The news is out on Reuters News Service. Trailers are showing up on youtube. As summer set in, Springfield Vermont won the right to host the premiere of the New Simpson's movie. This could have been my moment in the sun.
Being on the Simpsons means that you've arrived. Homer Simpson's corner of the universe is one of the classical popular culture barometers of our time. Anybody can be cast in stone, but it takes a real icon of our culture to be immortalized in cartoon. And after nineteen seasons in production, practically everything has been immortalized in cartoon: George Bush, The Moody Blues, Michael Jackson, Cheers, Jerry Springer, Dolly Parton, Michael Moore, Eric Idle, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Tony Blair, Stephen Hawking...I could go on.
Some time ago, I was asked to do a voice over and play myself in the new Simpson's movie. It's already in my IMBd film credits. Since it was released early on that I would be in the movie, I have been getting many a media request for interviews.
I could go on but I won't. Alas, I am crushed. About a month ago, Fox called and informed me that "Homer had dumped me" and that I am now on the cutting room
floor.
Oh well. As I said before, it would have been my moment in the sun. Homer will have to save Springfield without me. It would have been fun but that's show biz.
Currently, I am the President of the consulting firm, Brockovich Research & Consulting, where I am involved in numerous major environmental cases
