Castellenata is great in everything he does and Julie Kavner's film "This is My Life" was seriously under-appreciated, not to mention her Woody Allen movies. I truly appreciate the abilities of voice-actors, but it takes more than a goofy voice to be effective. The Simpsons is all about the acting (actually, it's mostly about the writing, but you know what I'm saying...)

Shearer is a regular in Christopher Guest's movies; "A Mighty Wind" especially was one where whenever he spoke, all I could think of was Principal Skinner. And recently I saw "Run Fatboy Run," and I was rather shocked to not only see Azaria's naked butt, but also because he is in pretty incredible physical shape for someone many of us know mostly as a voice actor. And just one more: When I was in 6th grade, in Home-Ec class for some reason one day we watched what I believe was a TV movie or an after-school-special (very crappy), called "Mom's On Strike." It was notable for me at the time because I recognized the young girl in it as the voice of Lisa Simpson. This must have been 1995 or so.
