3. Mark Hamill
Character: Himself
Episode: 'Mayored To The Mob', Season 10 (1998-'99)
What’s not funny about Mark Hamill playing a bottomed-out version of himself plugging cheap ads at conventions (“You stupid nerds! He's trying to save you money on long distance!”) and singing ‘Luke Be A Jedi Tonight’ in a twisted version of Guys And Dolls?
Hamill actually played two roles in the show – as well as himself, he also voiced bodyguard trainer Leavelle. A little chippily, he said he preferred playing Leavelle...
2. Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger
Character: Themselves
Episode: 'When You Dish Upon A Star', Season 10 (1998-'99)
Bruce Springsteen was again first choice and again turned down the opportunity to play himself, this time as a star who moves to Springfield and is plagued by unwanted public attention. Demi Moore and Bruce Willis were also asked before Baldwin and Basinger signed up...
Now, it’s hard to imagine anyone else polishing their Oscars and suffering a Homer life invasion...
Baldwin: “Does anyone know where this came from?”
Homer: “Oh, there’s that script I wrote. Where did you find it?”
Baldwin: “On my pillow.”

Can you do a South Park list as an companion to this one? I'm thinking Mel Gibson bouncing around smearing poo everywhere!!

Notice how all the great guest star appearances are all in the early- mid-1990's Simpsons episodes?

I reckon Tony Blair should have been on this, in the episode where the Simpsons go to London

@Ominater Tony Blair is not a movie-star, though he was one hell of an actor...oh, a bit controversial there.

I'm not sure if I missed it or not, I re read the article. But it is a travesty that Glenn Close wasn't even mentioned as Homer's mother! It's along the same mention as liz taylor as Maggie's voice. Just like Maggie's first word as a milestone, Homer finding out that his mother is alive should at least be mentioned as the top 5.
