He was nominated for the for (1970), and Mufasa from the 1994 Disney film .
On The Simpsons, he first guest starred in "Treehouse of Horror", where he was heard in all three segments, the only special guest voice to date who holds that distinction: as the moving man in "Bad Dream House", Serak the Preparer in "Hungry Are the Damned", and the narrator in "The Raven". He later voiced an alternate-universe Maggie in "Treehouse of Horror V" and the closing narrator in "Das Bus", explaining that the children were rescued by, "...oh, let's say Moe."
