‘The Simpsons’ Milhouse Voice Actor Retires After 35 Years

The Simpsons fans were in for difficult news and a big loss to the town of Springfield on Wednesday (November 20). Pamela Hayden, who originated the voice of Bart’s bespectacled best pal Milhouse and many other mainstay characters, announced she is retiring from voice acting and is leaving the show.

“The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons?……not easily,” she shared in a press release. “It’s been an honor and a joy to have worked on such a funny, witty, and groundbreaking show, and to give voice to Milhouse (and Jimbo Jones, Rod Flanders, Janey, Malibu Stacy, and many others).”
