Groundskeeper Willie was
born sometime in the early
1950's in Glasgow Scotland. Willie is very proud of his
Scottish roots and makes this known in various
episodes. Willie has been groundskeeper for Springfield
Elementry School for the past decade. However in many
episodes it is suggested that Willie is also the janitor or
custodian.
The
voice of Willie is
performed by Dan Castellaneta ,who also does the voice for
Homer,Grandpa,Krusty,Barney,Sideshow Mel,and Mayor
Quimby. Mr. Castellaneta orginally starred on the Tracey
Ullmen Show were he created the voice of Homer on the show.
The voice of Willie is very life-like of what a Scottish
accent is. Being Scottish I know many actual Scottish
people
and the voice of Willie is very close to perfect.
Willie
is an unique character in his own right. Many times I don't
see a cartoon character but a real person. It is Willie's
harshness and strong personality that makes us
laugh. However his atttitude on life is not fictious.Many
Scottish people are so similar it is unbelievable. Please
understand this,Willie is based on real Scottish people,he
is
not just from the imagination of some animator,just to get
a laugh. Willie may seen harsh,but is really soft at
heart.It
is Willie's pride that makes him so strong.
At this time there are
no plans for a
Groundskeeper Willie Show. So far no character on the
Simpson's has branched off to their own show. At this time
I
don't think Willie has a good platform to leave the
Simpsons. I don't think the writers built him up enough to
develop his own thing. What would he do on the show,cook
haggis for a half hour. Willie works best as a supporting
character. This does not mean Willie could not work on his
own,the writers simply have to introduce him better. As of
yet Willie has only really been featured on one episode of
the Simpsons(-Treehouse of Terror VI-Nightmare on
Evergreen Terrance[3FO4])
