    This week on Simpsons Declassified, Nancy Cartwright welcomes acclaimed actor Tony Revolori for a hilarious, heartfelt, and wildly entertaining conversation that spans everything from The Grand Budapest Hotel to Spider-Man, Wes Anderson, voice acting, fandom, and even donut critiques. Tony opens up about his unforgettable experience working with Wes Anderson, revealing how nervous he was on the set of The Grand Budapest Hotel that he memorized the entire script — including everyone else’s lines. He shares an incredible behind-the-scenes story about helping Ralph Fiennes perfect a monologue and how Fiennes later taught him the rhythm and musicality of Shakespearean dialogue. Tony also reflects on the kindness and mentorship he received as a young actor surrounded by Hollywood legends. The conversation dives into Tony’s love for fantasy films, indie dramas, and voice acting, which he says would be his number one choice if he ever had to pick between genres. He discusses growing up obsessed with Spider-Man 2, eventually joining the Marvel universe himself, and hilariously admits to once giving a police officer a Marvel spoiler just to avoid getting a speeding ticket. Nancy and Tony also bond over animated classics, conventions, fandom culture, and the magic of cartoons. Tony shares memories of memorizing The Lion King as a child and performing scenes for his family, while Nancy reflects on early animation/live-action breakthroughs like Mary Poppins and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Along the way, the two reenact a goofy Spider-Man/Bart Simpson skit, swap convention stories, and discuss the surprising realities of being recognized in public. The episode is filled with inspiring advice for aspiring actors and creatives. Nancy shares her “six alien steps for successful survival” in voice acting, emphasizing passion, professionalism, mentorship, trusting your instincts, and embracing change. Tony adds thoughtful insight about growth, discomfort, and surrounding yourself with supportive people who help you evolve personally and professionally. Listeners also get a glimpse into Tony’s exciting future projects, including a new film with Matthew McConaughey, a K-pop-inspired movie, and his dream project: developing his own anime series. His passion for storytelling and animation shines throughout the episode, making this conversation both deeply personal and incredibly inspiring.
