The man with one of the world’s most famous voices turns 57 today. Happy birthday Dan.

It must be a very rare thing to have your voice well known to millions of people around the world yet remain somewhat anonymous on the street.

That is the case for Dan Castellaneta, an Emmy award winner who has provided us with more laughs on The Simpsons than we could even fathom. Away from his work on the greatest TV show of all-time Castellaneta has also starred in Parks & Recreation, Friends, Entourage and Frasier.

He also provided his voice for shows like Earthworm Jim, Rugrats, Darkwing Duck, Back to The Future and many others, but he will always be best remembered for some of the following voices from the greatest TV show of all time.

To be honest, we could have picked a thousand clips but take a look at some of these gems from some of his most well-known characters.
