Read the text. Then complete the sentences. (10 points) Do you know the name Dan Castellaneta? How about Homer Simpson? Homer Simpson is a celebrity and he has got a star on Hollywood Boulevard. Dan Castellaneta hasn’t got a star and he isn’t very famous, but his voice is famous. Dan is a voice actor. He’s the voice of Homer Simpson. The Simpsons is a popular TV programme about an American family. Homer is the father of the family and he’s got three children – Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Homer isn’t a very good father. He’s fat, lazy and he isn’t very clever. Dan Castellaneta is different from Homer in many ways. First of all, he hasn’t got any children. He’s hard-working and very intelligent. He’s a vegetarian and unlike Homer, he isn’t fat. But the two men are similar, too. They’re both medium height and they haven’t got hair on top of their heads. On The Simpsons, Dan is also the voice of Grampa Simpson, Barney Gumble and Krusty the Clown. Dan isn’t just a voice actor. He is also an actor in films and on TV, but his face isn’t famous.
