Harry Shearer, one of the voice cast of The Simpsons, released a statement Friday regarding the recent tense negotiations which threaten to end the show.
Shearer, who voices numerous characters such as Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders, stated his willingness to take a salary cut from FOX, the network which airs the show. However, he also feels that he and his cast mates deserve a portion of the billions of dollars in revenue the show has generated since its 1989 debut.
