BIOGRAPHY

Troy McClure is a fictional character from the American animated sitcom The Simpsons. He was voiced by Phil Hartman and first appeared in the second season episode Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment. McClure is usually shown doing low-level work, such as hosting infomercials and educational films. He appears as the main character in A Fish Called Selma, in which he marries Selma Bouvier to aid his failing career and quash rumors about his personal life. McClure also hosts The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular and The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase.McClure was partially based on B movie actors Troy Donahue and Doug McClure, as well as Hartman himself. Following Hartmans murder in 1998, all of his Simpsons characters were retired out of respect, with Hartmans final appearance as McClure in the tenth season episode Bart the Mother four months later. Since his retirement, McClure is often cited as one of the series most popular characters. In 2006, IGN ranked McClure #1 on their list of the Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters.
