List Of Recurring The Simpsons Characters
Otto Mann voiced by Harry Shearer is the school bus driver for Springfield Elementary School. Otto is notable for his maniacal driving style (which, along with never getting a driver's license, cost him his job on the season three episode "The Otto Show"), his love of heavy metal music, drugs and his propensity for sounding and acting like a perpetual 1980s teenager. In early seasons he is often used as a friend and confidant to Bart, despite their age difference. Later seasons, however, usually only depict him as a passerby citizen of Springfield who does drugs (mostly marijuana and hallucinogens). He is a (last-minute) member of Homer's bowling team, the "Pin Pals". Otto is a skilled guitarist, and (momentarily) takes pride in the fact that this was the only thing he achieved during high school. In "The Otto Show" and "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge," it's revealed that Otto is a military brat (his father was an admiral in the Navy) and the two don't get along at all. On season 18's "The Mook, The Chef, The Wife, and Her Homer," Otto reveals that he and Kearney were in the same third grade class, implying that Otto, much like Kearney, is older than his outward appearance would have others believe.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, recurring and/or characters:
“Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
