Homer Jay Simpson is a character in the animated television seriesThe Simpsons. He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta and first appeared on television in the Tracey Ullman Showshort "Good Night". He is one of five members of the titular family and has become the most popular and influential character in the series. Despite the suburban blue-collar routine of his life, he has had a number of remarkable experiences. He has also occasionally displayed flashes of brilliance and fitness when situations have called for them, and possesses an integrity that reflects his own values, including a fierce devotion to and protectiveness of his family.Homer was created by cartoonist Matt Groening and named after Groening's father. He made his television debut on April 19, 1987 in the Tracey Ullman Show short "Good Night". In the shorts and earlier episodes, his voice was a loose impression of Walter Matthau but eventually evolved into a more robust voice during the second and third season of the half-hour show, allowing Homer to cover a fuller range of emotions. Homer has since become one of the most influential fictional characters and has been described by the UK newspaper The Sunday Times as the greatest comedic creation of modern time.[1] He has inspired an entire line of merchandise and his catchphrase, the annoyed grunt "D'oh!", is now included in the Oxford English Dictionary. >> By WikiPedia
