The voice actor behind Ned Flanders, Mr Burns, Skinner, and many more characters just quit 'The Simpsons'
Fox
Harry Shearer, who is responsible for voicing Ned Flanders, Principal Skinner, Mr Burns, and numerous more characters on the popular cartoon has left the show, a message posted on his Twitter profile confirms.
"Show will go on, Harry will not be part of it, wish him the best," says another statement on Shearer's Twitter profile, apparently written by Simpsons producer James L. Brooks.
Shearer says: "This because I wanted what we've always had: the freedom to do other work." Hollywood Reporter has additional details on the contract dispute, saying that Shearer was "the lone cast holdout in the latest round of negotiations."
