- “I think it’s crucially important that these stories are acknowledged. I haven’t played a lot of gay characters, but every time I do it, it brings back certain feelings I had as a young actor where I couldn’t be gay,” says Victor Garber, who voices the billionaire.
- The writers finally made Smithers’ sexuality public in a 2016 episode, in which he came out as gay.
- This Thanksgiving episode ofThe Simpsons will air November 21st.
