Bob Odenkirk is set to play a lawyer on The Simpsons.
The Better Call Saul star will make a guest voice appearance on Fox’s iconic animated series.
Odenkirk’s character is said to be a mob lawyer. The episode is penned by his brother Bill Odenkirk.
“He charges by the minute so he speaks… really… slowly,” elective producer Al Jean says of the character. “He just wants money for talking to Fat Tony.”
The episode involves sting operation and the Simpsons patriarch. “Homer is the mark because he’s got such a big butt so he’s a good target for pickpocketing,” explains Jean. “Fat Tony is arrested but he didn’t do it — and he has to find out who did do it.”
Here’s to seeing Odenkirk play a shady lawyer with slippery interpretations of the law — again!
Season 31 of The Simpsons debuts in September.
Entertainment Weekly was the first to report the news.
