I just read this entire thread to my husband and he said "Wait, in the original Monorail episode, wasn't Sebastian Cobb voiced by Leonard Nemoy? And that would explain why his literal only line in game is 'My name is Sebastian Cobb'?"

Nope. Harry Shearer.

Nimoy appeared in the Monorail episode as himself.

Maybe 2018 will be the year we get both Just Stamp the Ticket Guy & Troy McClure

No Lionel Hutz either. Gotta be out of respect to Phil Hartman, so it's extremely doubtful we'll ever see them.

They asked us if we wanted him. We said no, since he wasn't really a pivotal character in the show.

Now you know why. Aren't you glad you asked? But it's a secret, which you must take to your grave.

Right Now.

Yes I'm sure it's inconvenient and unexpected, but you asked, got your answer, and all its consequences. I'm sorry but it's the Law of the West.

Rest in peace.

The monorail is introduced by Lyle Lanley, so I find the "out of respect" argument a little suspect. And yes, he isn't a character we actually get, but he is included.

Yeah, I think that's a weak argument. I do think they will eventually add Hutz and the other Hartman characters, we just have to wait.

Lyle Lanley had a very small role with the Monorail, and before you blinked; he was gone.

As much as it would be cool to see these characters played by Phil Hartman in the show, it's never going to happen.

Characters retired out of respect for Phil Hartman.

I imagine it’s a complicated situation involving lawyers, accountants etc. Hartman was kind of a big deal when he joined the cast and it wouldn’t surprise me if he (his estate) owns a certain percentage of his primary characters. It’s easy to pay what is owed on a t-shirt or coffee mug but he’s not here to negotiate something that’s difficult to put a value on like this game. Just my guess anyway. I’d happily pay cash money for his characters if that idea is ever on the table.

To be perfectly honest, I was drunk when I wrote this. It was NYE and my husband and I were drinking shots and watching The Simpsons while we waited for midnight. Troy came on screen, I went "I want Troy!!! Why don't we have Troy???" and away I went. Sorry for asking a question that has apparently been asked before. I didn't know. That'll teach me to drink and internet. ;)

I'm confused though, there are other voice actors who have passed away whose characters are in game. What's so special about Phil? (not trolling, I honestly don't know. I didn't start watching the show until I was an adult. My mother used to call Bart "Barf")
