Otto Mann

Otto Mann

Otto Mann (voiced by Harry Shearer) is the school bus driver for Springfield Elementary School. He is notable for his bad driving, which got him temporarily fired on the season three episode "The Otto Show", his drug use (mostly marijuana and psychedelics), his love of heavy metal music, and for calling Bart Simpson "Bart dude". Despite his irresponsible and illicit behavior, he is generally well-intentioned and has a positive relationship with the children at Springfield Elementary. His father is an admiral with the US Navy who does not like that his son wasted his youth and never amounted to anything. He was modelled upon early Simpsons writer Wallace Wolodarsky, who at the time wore long black hair, shorts and a baseball cap.
