The actors behind the Spanish language version of The Simpsons are involved in a labor dispute between Mexico’s National Actors Association and a Mexican contractor who handles the dubbing of the show. If the matter isn’t settled soon, new actors might be hired to replace the original Spanish cast. From the Associated Press:
(Nancy) Mackenzie, the voice of Marge, has been with the union for about 40 years, dubbing television shows that include “Dallas” and “The Dukes of Hazard.”
Losing the part in “The Simpsons” would be hard to take, she said.
“You get to the point where you care deeply for your cartoon character,” Mackenzie said. “You love them. You go to bed with them at night. It’s a sad state, and not because of the money. It’s for love.”
