Since this is naivety in the voice pitch when Homer Simpson says. This boundless naivety with which the famous character simply defies the bitter reality. But even a complacency, an impertinence of simple mind. Homer’s voice soars into the air, they kiekst a bit, as if the brave and stout paterfamilias voice broke not overcome properly.
And that he has not, you can see Homer Simpson repeatedly as someone who is arrested his dreams and desires of childhood, and on the world watches as he imagines, with idleness, with simple pleasures, with beer and sausages and donuts.
All this can be heard in his voice.
And even more, Thieving joy, Up Luck, admissions of guilt, sorrow again. In his whimpers of grief can be experienced on existential manner about the profligacy of everyday life and the small injustices of society. In one of the greatest moments ever Simpsons Homer enters at the end of a sequence hell. The garden in front of the house to tears, a staircase leads down.
Homer enters curious. We hear the joyful voice “Hmm, Barbecue”. And then the voice puts everything at once with the sounding shaken honest, at the same time by so much inability whining phrase “Oh, no, there are pineapple in coleslaw.” In the ups and downs of the voice, the nuances stuck tighter than in so many records.
All this has made audible Norbert Gastell. He was the German voice of Homer Simpson. As his widow has now announced he died on Thursday at the age of 86 years in Munich. Since 1991 Gastell Homer had spoken, in fact he was only booked for a supporting role, Principal Skinner, but actually spokesman of Homer Simpson threw after a day in the towel -. Too hard to speak

Da took Gastell and went with Homer gone the way to glory. As is known, Homer was at the beginning of the “Simpsons” more of a supporting character; later he pushed himself in the center, because the drama of the untalented, self-righteous family father far more identification points Humor occasions offered as his no less simple son Bart. His set, eventually old age not heard the man, he adapted itself to Homer, the eternal is indeed short of the 40th
No one could better “Juhuuu” call
Gastell spoke differently than his American colleague Dan Castellaneta, the rather stoic buzzing with little modulation as pumucklartig auftrumpft as the German Homer. Even the famous “D’oh” Homer lived in the original rather than by the neologism of the debate. The German “Neiin!” is much more sound that goes into the air, is an expression and cry.
Gastell could “Juhuuu” call like no one else, and actually it was much better than the original. When asked, Castell has noted that he received 10,000 euros for the synchronization of an entire season, while Castellaneta, who indeed was doing the same job, received up to 500,000 dollars per episode.
was born Norbert Gastell 1929 in Buenos Aires. His parents had emigrated to Argentina in 1925 and returned in 1938 to Germany. Norbert visited after the war drama school, played a lot of theater, was seen in the famous “Space Patrol” as a flight engineer of the spaceship Hydra.
From “Forsthaus Falkenau” Harry Potter
Its “largest” role was that of the Forestry Director Leonhard in 220 episodes of “Forsthaus Falkenau”. Since 1956, he dubbed foreign films, he said one of the neighbors in “Alf” was heard in the “Gummi Bears” and “Game of Thrones”, said the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge in the “Harry Potter” movies.
All of these voices were Homer Simpson out of the way, because of just spoke quite differently. Gastell often told how his fans asked for the voice of Springfield, he congratulated so baccalaureate teachers and drunken youths, the night brought him out of bed and, because they had birthday, just wanted to hear what Homer says so. Homer then said a word, and lay down to sleep again. At this point, a sigh is attached.
Will Homer continued kieksen, will break his voice? As Elisabeth Volkmann died in 2006, the first Marge Simpson was the wailing large. Anke Engelke is different, but of course also very good. The more pressing question is not who will stay for a new Homer, but as long as the “Simpsons” yet, the already long-lived animated series in the world.
Still one last? Okay.
Homer makes to the front door, he has a can of beer in his hand. The Grim Reaper is standing outside and humming his “I am death”. Homer takes a deep swig and calls with the victories certain voice of Norbert Gastell: “The death we do not need”. Since Homer was right, of course. But so completely immune to death are not even the Simpsons.
