Apu submitted by willow on August 11, 2015, 6:46am Hank Azaria, who is of Greek/Jewish origins, plays many characters on The Simpsons, most famously Apu. Azaria based his voice on memories of Indian and Pakistani 7-11 clerks, according to an interview with India Abroad. Apu has been a controversial character, as he is generally depicted as a typical Springfield resident aside from the Apu-centric episodes; this DVD contains "Much Apu Anout Nothing," about illegal immigration: Apu entered the U.S. with a student visa but with the help of the Simpson family, is able to become a citizen all in one episode -- a feat of bureaucratic success unlike any most immigrants have ever seen. Also, an anti-immigrant proposition is on the ballot.
