Well, OJ would be played by...oh, that's not what you mean by "real-life Simpsons", is it?

It's time to break out a part of my Even Yet Still Another Simpsons FAQ:

"Who would play _____ in a live-action Simpsons movie?"
    Since the current plans are for any Simpsons movie to be animated,
    this is a moot point.  Besides, (a) it's been asked to death, and
    (b) the cast keeps changing, especially if you try to cast Bart.
    It's gone from Macauley Culkin to Haley Joel Osment ("The Sixth
    Sense" - note he's done animation) to Jonathan Lipnicki ("Stuart
    Little").

    Between you and me, if there was ever a live-action Simpsons
    movie, I would be VERY surprised if there isn't a nationwide
    (or at least Southern California-wide) talent search to find kids
    to portray Bart and Lisa who look something like them (as was done
    with "The Brady Bunch Movie"), rather than having "current actors"
    do it.  (Then again, I was just as surprised that Steven Spielberg
    (reportedly) refused to direct the Harry Potter movies because he
    demanded that a "name" like Haley Joel Osment play the title role
    (author J.K. Rowling definitely said "no British boy as Harry, no
    movie"), so I could be wrong here.  Not that there's any guarantee
    of stardom - quick, what boy played Charlie in "Willy Wonka and the
    Chocolate Factory"?  For that matter, who portray Ron and Hermoine
    in "Harry Potter and the (Philosopher's / Sorceror's) Stone"?)
    (Answer to the first one: Peter Ostrum - and "Wonka" was his only
    film; according to imdb.com, he became a veterinarian.
    Answer to the second one: Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.)

    As for Maggie, most lists that cast Maggie say something along the
    lines of "any baby will do"; of course, child labor laws pretty
    much require using identical twins.  (Not that there would be "two
    Maggies at the same time", but the two babies would play Maggie in
    different scenes - Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen got their start by
    playing the same character on "Full House".)

    Personally, I would either get Jim Henson's Creature Shop to make
    something that looks like the cartoon version, or "draw Maggie in"
    the way Rocky and Bullwinkle were drawn in in their movie.  (They
    could go CGI as well, but if you're going to put Maggie into a
    live-action scene, you might as well use paint.)

They could play themselves. All we need to do is visit them at their homes in springfield.
