The episode airs Nov. 15 on Fox本集将于11月15日在 Fox 播出
Variety reported on Oct. 30 that Eric Bauza will be heard on The Simpsons on Nov. 15, in an episode titled “Dream Scenari-Moe.” It is his first appearance on the show. The two characters he plays are Mr. Fong, a restaurateur, and Harry Metsali, a newspaper editor, according to Cesar Mazariegos, a co-executive producer of The Simpsons and the co-showrunner of the episode.据 Variety 10月30日报道，Eric Bauza 将出现在11月15日播出的《辛普森一家》中，这一集名为《Dream Scenari-Moe》。这是他第一次参演该剧。据该剧联合执行制片人、本集联合剧集主管 Cesar Mazariegos 介绍，他配的两个角色分别是餐馆老板 Mr. Fong 和报纸编辑 Harry Metsali。
Bauza died on Oct. 25 at 46, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The Hollywood Reporter described the death as sudden and of natural causes. Variety reported the cause as hypertensive cardiovascular disease. Neither report carries a statement from Bauza’s family, and neither says whether Fox will add a tribute card to the Nov. 15 broadcast.据《好莱坞报道》报道，Bauza 于10月25日去世，享年46岁，该刊称他属于突然离世，死因为自然原因。Variety 则报道死因为高血压性心血管疾病。两篇报道都没有刊登家属声明，也没有说明 Fox 是否会在11月15日的播出中加入纪念字幕。
He recorded the parts in two sessions他分两次完成了这两个角色的录音
Mazariegos told Variety that the show approached Bauza to play “two New-Yorky characters” for the episode and that he “knocked it out of the park.” He described Bauza dipping “in and out of dozens of voices, both to give us options and just hilariously riffing while off-mic.” Bauza signed the show’s Wall of Fame and drew a Bugs Bunny on it, Mazariegos said, which is how the staff learned he had started as an animator.Mazariegos 对 Variety 说，剧组请他来配“两个纽约味很重的角色”，而他“完成得非常出色”。他说 Bauza 在录音时“在几十种声音之间来回切换，既是为了给我们更多选择，也是在下麦之后搞笑即兴”。Mazariegos 说，Bauza 在剧组的“名人墙”上签了名，还画了一只画得很好的兔八哥，大家这才知道他最早是做动画出身。
The recording took two sessions, according to Mazariegos. He said the staff had seen Bauza at last month’s Creative Arts Emmys, and that executive producer Matt Selman had run into him at another event the week before his death. “He was absolutely someone we were excited to have come in again and again, and then we heard the news,” Mazariegos said. “It was such a shock.”据 Mazariegos 说，录音一共进行了两次。他说，剧组上个月还在创意艾美奖上遇到过他，执行制片人 Matt Selman 上周也在另一场活动上见过他。“我们本来非常希望他能一次又一次地回来，然后就听到了这个消息，”Mazariegos 说，“实在太突然了。”
From an animator’s desk in Toronto to Bugs Bunny从多伦多的动画工位到兔八哥
The Hollywood Reporter traced Bauza’s route to the Looney Tunes characters back through the animation industry. He was born in Scarborough, in Toronto, and began as an animator, character designer and layout artist at Spümcø, the studio behind Ren & Stimpy. His voice breakthrough came as Stimpy in the studio’s Adult Party Cartoon revival, a series the magazine said bombed even as his performance drew attention from the animation industry.《好莱坞报道》把 Bauza 走向 Looney Tunes 角色的路径追溯到动画行业本身。他出生在多伦多士嘉堡，最早在《Ren & Stimpy》背后的工作室 Spümcø 做动画师、角色设计师和构图师。他真正因配音受到关注，是在该工作室的《Adult Party Cartoon》重启版里配 Stimpy；该刊称这部剧失败了，但他的表演引起了动画行业的注意。
He auditioned for Bugs Bunny on Looney Tunes Cartoons in 2018. Alex Kirwan, a producer on that series, told The Hollywood Reporter that the team listened to about 50 people saying “What’s up, doc?” and that Bauza’s reading “jumped out right away.” Variety put his acting credits at more than 400, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, Chowder and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, and said he voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig and Road Runner in this year’s Coyote vs. Acme. The Hollywood Reporter also noted that he appeared on its inaugural Animation Power list this year and attended the magazine’s Most Powerful People in Animation breakfast in Beverly Hills on Oct. 16, nine days before his death.2018年，他为《Looney Tunes Cartoons》中的兔八哥一角试音。该剧制片人 Alex Kirwan 对《好莱坞报道》说，团队听了大约50个人反复说“What's up, doc?”，而 Bauza 的版本“一下就跳出来了”。Variety 称他名下有四百多个表演作品，包括《Avatar: The Last Airbender》《Chowder》和《Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated》；今年上映的《Coyote vs. Acme》里，兔八哥、达菲鸭、翠儿、Elmer Fudd、Foghorn Leghorn、Porky Pig 和 Road Runner 都由他配音。《好莱坞报道》还提到，他今年入选该刊首届“动画权力榜”，并在10月16日出席了在比佛利山庄举行的动画界最具影响力人物早餐会，距他去世只有九天。
The campaign that got Coyote vs. Acme into theaters把《Coyote vs. Acme》推上院线的那场呼吁
At the 2024 Annie Awards, Bauza took the podium in Daffy Duck’s voice and asked Warner Bros. to release Coyote vs. Acme, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The film had been shelved as a tax write-off after Warner Bros. Discovery’s then-chief executive, David Zaslav, decided the $30 million to $40 million needed to market it was not worth spending, according to the magazine. Bauza had already pushed the hashtag #ReleaseCoyoteVsACME and posted images from the film on social media.据《好莱坞报道》报道，2024年安妮奖颁奖礼上，Bauza 走上台，用达菲鸭的声音请求华纳兄弟发行《Coyote vs. Acme》。该刊称，这部影片曾被当作税务冲销搁置，原因是当时的华纳兄弟探索首席执行官 David Zaslav 认为，为发行投入3000万至4000万美元的营销费用不划算。在那之前，Bauza 已经在社交媒体上推动 #ReleaseCoyoteVsACME 话题，并发布影片画面。
The studio sold the film to Ketchup Entertainment for a reported $50 million, and it has since taken more than $100 million worldwide, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Ketchup has confirmed it is submitting the film for best animated feature at the 2027 Oscars, the magazine reported. Variety lists the picture among Bauza’s credits for this year, alongside the characters he voiced in it.据《好莱坞报道》报道，片厂后来把影片卖给 Ketchup Entertainment，价格据报道为5000万美元；影片全球票房此后超过1亿美元。该刊还报道，Ketchup 已确认将为该片申报2027年奥斯卡最佳动画长片。Variety 则把这部影片列入他今年的作品，并列出他在其中配音的角色。
The rest of the episode and the work still to come本集的其余内容，以及尚未与观众见面的作品
Variety reported that the episode’s other guest voices are Meg Ryan, as a character named Sam, and the Saturday Night Live cast member James Austin Johnson, as Dr. De La Manana. The logline released with the episode reads: “When Moe has trouble sleeping, he enrolls in a brand new sleep study that gives him the greatest romantic comedy dreams of his life. But unbeknownst to him, his beautiful fantasy comes at a nightmarish price.” Variety also noted that the show has recently drawn attention for the return of Apu, now voiced by Sunil Malhotra, who posted on Instagram the congratulatory note Bauza had sent him when that casting was announced.Variety 报道，本集的其他客串配音还包括 Meg Ryan（饰 Sam）和《Saturday Night Live》班底成员 James Austin Johnson（饰 Dr. De La Manana）。随集发布的剧情简介写道：“当 Moe 睡不好觉，他报名参加了一项全新的睡眠研究，研究让他做了人生中最浪漫的喜剧梦。但他不知道的是，这份美好的幻想要付出噩梦般的代价。”Variety 还提到，该剧近期因 Apu 回归、改由 Sunil Malhotra 配音而受到关注；Malhotra 在 Instagram 上贴出了 Apu 选角消息公布时 Bauza 发给他的祝贺留言。
Two other Bauza performances are still to come. His Looney Tunes short Daffy Season will play before The Cat in the Hat when that film opens on Nov. 6, and Warner Bros. will put an in-memoriam card for him on Academy screeners of the short, The Hollywood Reporter reported. The magazine also reported that he had recorded voice work and musical numbers for Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical, a feature that was in pre-production when he died and whose future it describes as uncertain.他还有两部作品尚未与观众见面。他的 Looney Tunes 短片《Daffy Season》将在11月6日上映的《The Cat in the Hat》之前放映；据《好莱坞报道》报道，华纳兄弟会在该短片的学院放映拷贝前加上纪念他的字幕卡。该刊还报道，他已经为长片《Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical》录制了配音和若干唱段，该项目在他去世时处于前期筹备阶段，前景尚不确定。
What colleagues said, and what is still unanswered同行的评价，以及两篇报道没有回答的问题
Susan Rogers, a producer at Warner Bros. Pictures Animation who worked with Bauza on Daffy Season, told The Hollywood Reporter that the studio’s Burbank headquarters was in mourning and that “everybody felt a personal connection with him.” Channing Dungey, chair of Warner Bros. Television Group, said he “followed in the footsteps of giants like Mel Blanc.” Mazariegos told Variety that Bauza’s death was a loss to “his young family,” to “a generation of animation fans” and to “an industry that’s being hobbled by greed and AI.”在华纳兄弟影业动画公司担任制片人、与 Bauza 合作《Daffy Season》的 Susan Rogers 对《好莱坞报道》说，公司位于伯班克的总部本周都在哀悼，“大家都很难过，因为我觉得每个人都和他有私人的连接”。华纳兄弟电视集团主席 Channing Dungey 说，他“追随了 Mel Blanc 这样巨人的脚步”。Mazariegos 对 Variety 说，Bauza 的去世对他的“年幼的家庭”、对“一代动画观众”、对“一个正被贪婪与 AI 拖累的行业”都是损失。
What neither report supplies is a funeral or memorial arrangement, a statement from Bauza’s family, or an account of how The Simpsons will mark his death on air. The confirmed record as of Oct. 30 is the death on Oct. 25, the two characters he will be heard as on Nov. 15, and the episode details Mazariegos gave Variety. Related coverage on this site includes the ratified SAG-AFTRA television animation contract, Japan’s record anime market and the death of Patrick Stewart at 86.两篇报道都没有提供的，是葬礼或追悼安排、Bauza 家属的声明，以及《辛普森一家》将在节目中如何悼念他。截至10月30日可以确认的是：他于10月25日去世，他将在11月15日以两个角色出现，以及 Mazariegos 向 Variety 提供的本集细节。本站相关阅读包括已批准的 SAG-AFTRA 电视动画合约、日本动画市场的创纪录规模与 Patrick Stewart 去世，享年86岁。
