'''Daniel Louis''' "'''Dan'''" '''Castellaneta''' (born October 29, 1957) is an award-winning American actor, comedian, screenwriter, and voice actor. He is the voice of [[Homer Simpson]] and many recurring characters such as the [[blue-haired lawyer]], [[Gil Gunderson]], [[Itchy]], [[Barney Gumble]], [[Krusty the Clown]], [[Kodos]], [[Sideshow Mel]], [[Hans Moleman]], [[Abraham Simpson]], [[squeaky-voiced teen]], [[Mayor Quimby]], and [[Groundskeeper Willie]]. He was also interviewed in ''[[The Simpsons: America's First Family]]'', ''[[The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons: Access All Areas]]''.

Besides a voice actor for the show, he is also a crew member and has written seven episodes with his wife, [[Deb Lacusta]]. These episodes are "[[Days of Wine and D'oh'ses]]", "[[Gump Roast]]", "[[The Ziff Who Came To Dinner]]", "[[Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore]]", "[[The Fight Before Christmas]]", "[[A Midsummer's Nice Dreams]]", and "[[The Ten-Per-Cent Solution]]". His name was mispronounced by [[Homer]] during the credits of "[[Bart Star]]" as "Castaneltela".

Castellaneta was among several actors from the series to do voice work for ''[[Futurama]]''.  He provided the voice of the [[Robot Devil]] in all of the character's appearances, save for "[[infosphere:A Tale of Two Santas|A Tale of Two Santas]]", in which [[Maurice LaMarche]] did the voice.

In an interview, Dan Castellaneta says he never talks about ''The Simpsons'' at home, but has admitted on a couple of occasions that if his wife is making lunch he may remark "Mmm, sandwiches!", like [[Homer]].

Dan Castellaneta has got a knack for music. He has composed and/or written three songs for ''The Simpsons'', "[[They'll Never Stop the Simpsons]]", "[[Dancing Workers Song]]", and "[[The Gay Song]]". He also released one ''Simpsons''-related ''[[I Am Not Homer]]''. Dan Castellaneta also did all the singing when Homer had become an opera singer, which is uncommon as professional singers will often "step in" to sing for animated characters. Guest [[Plácido Domingo]] had commented that Dan Castellaneta's opera singing had been remarkable.
