Multiple-actor Characters

I was wondering: what "Simpsons" characters, if any, have been voiced by more than one actor? I know that Bill Clinton (due to Phil Harman's death) and Ned Flanders ("and nobody will ever know-diddly-ow about it") come to mind. Are there any others? Give episode examples, if possible. Thank you.

A number of Maggie Roswell's characters (Miss Hoover and Luann Van Houten come to mind) were voiced by Marcia Mitzman-Gaven when Roswell left the show (which, in part, led to the decision to kill off Maude Flanders) for a while.

Lurleen Lumpkin was voiced by Beverly D'Angelo in "Colonel Homer" and Doris Grau in "Marge vs. the Monorail". Speaking of Doris Grau, both she and Tress MacNeille (in "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife, and Her Homer") have voiced Lunch Lady Doris.

Also, I'm pretty sure Pamela Hayden voiced Martin in "Rosebud", while Russi Taylor voices him in all of his other episodes.

Check out "The Telltale Head." It's the first appearence of Dolph, Kearney and Jimbo. It sounds to me that Pamela Hayden is voicing Dolph and Tress MacNeill is voicing Jimbo in that episode, instead of vice versa as they've done ever since.

Also, Mr Burns was originally voiced by an actor names alternately Chris Latta or Christopher Collins. He did the first two Burns appearences, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire and Homer's Odyssey. Harry Shearer replaced him starting with There's No Disgrace Like Home.

The real Flanders line is actually "and no one can tell the diddly- ifference!" ;)

Also, on the subject of Christopher Collins, Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire was produced AFTER There's No Disgrace Like Home (even though it aired before it), hence the reason Harry Shearer is Mr. Burns in that episode. Harry Shearer redubbed the lines in Homer's Odyssey as well; Christopher Collins' version of Mr. Burns has never been aired.

Albert Brooks voiced Roundup Bob, the RV salesman, in 7G09, Call Of The Simpsons, but it was a different voice in GABF07, Mobile Homer.
