Bowie on The Simpsons?! Mr Warburton said the Simpsons production team had drawn up a list of 10 British stars they had hoped would take cameo roles. "There was a part for a famous British musician. I would have liked David Bowie or Morrissey, who lives in LA. We couldn't use Thom Yorke because he'd already been in South Park and we couldn't use Elton John because he has already been on the show and so has Sir Paul McCartney."
The writer said the Simpsons team still hoped to persuade Bowie to appear in a later episode FAMOUS PEOPLE WHO APPEARED, AND THE ONES WHO DIDN'T Famous people who have read their lines Three former Beatles: the late George Harrison, Paul McCartney (who appeared with the late Linda McCartney) and Ringo Starr Jerry Lewis J K Rowling U2 Elton John Michael Moore Aerosmith Michael Jackson Donald Sutherland Barry White Simon Cowell Meryl Streep Danny DeVito Martin Sheen Dustin Hoffman Kelsey Grammar Famous people who have been offered but turned it down Al Gore Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury Famous people who wanted to do it but were rejected David Beckham Al Gore (after first turning it down) [This message was edited Tue Nov 25 10:11:46 PST 2003 by noepie] WHAT IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW?

Just a few off the top of my head: John Waters Tracy Ullman Liz Taylor Jonny Carson David Duchovney Gillian Anderson Kid Rock Darry Strawberry Sting Dolly Parton Willie Nelson and I know I'm forgetting many, many more.
