"the simpsons" has six main cast members: dan castellaneta, julie kavner, nancy cartwright, yeardley smith, hank azaria, and harry shearer. castellaneta voices homer simpson, grampa simpson, krusty the clown, groundskeeper willie, mayor quimby, barney gumble, and other adult, male characters. julie kavner voices marge simpson and patty and selma, as well as several minor characters. castellaneta and kavner had been a part of "the tracey ullman show" cast and were given the parts so that new actors would not be needed. cartwright voices bart simpson, nelson muntz, ralph wiggum and other children. smith, the voice of lisa simpson, is the only cast member who regularly voices only one character, although she occasionally plays other episodic characters. the producers decided to hold casting for the roles of bart and lisa. smith had initially been asked to audition for the role of bart, but casting director bonita pietila believed her voice was too high, so she was given the role of lisa instead. cartwright was originally brought in to voice lisa, but upon arriving at the audition, she found that lisa was simply described as the "middle child" and at the time did not have much personality. cartwright became more interested in the role of bart, who was described as "devious, underachieving, school-hating, irreverent, [and] clever". groening let her try out for the part instead, and upon hearing her read, gave her the job on the spot. cartwright is the only one of the six main "simpsons" cast members who had been professionally trained in voice acting prior to working on the show. azaria and shearer do not voice members of the title family, but play a majority of the male townspeople. azaria, who has been a part of the "simpsons" regular voice cast since the second season, voices recurring characters such as moe szyslak, chief wiggum, apu nahasapeemapetilon and professor frink. shearer provides voices for mr. burns, mr. smithers, principal skinner, ned flanders, reverend lovejoy and dr. hibbert. every main cast member has won a primetime emmy award for outstanding voice-over performance.
