Harry Shearer, the talented voice actor behind Mr. Burns, Ned Flanders, and a number of other iconic Simpsons characters (Otto! Dr. Hibbert! Rainier Wolfcastle!), will remain with the show for at least the next two years, Fox announced today (via THR).
Thatās despite Shearerās proclamation in May that he would be leaving the show, which led to widespread Simpsons fan panic at the idea of someone trying to replace him. Fortunately, thereās nothing to worry aboutāexcept for maybe the fact that The Simpsons will never, ever end.
