The voice of Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders (and Principal Skinner, the Rev. Lovejoy and Kent Brockman), Harry Shearer has decided to pass on the newest season of The Simpsons and has exited the FOX staple. According to CNN, the Simpsons veteran decided to pass on the $14 million deal that everyone else said yes to.
“Harry Shearer was offered the same deal the rest of the cast accepted, and passed,” exec producer Al Jean said in a statement. “The show will go on and we wish him well. Maggie took it hard. We do not plan to kill off characters like Burns and Flanders but will recast with the finest voiceover talent available.”
Shearer wants to pursue other work!
