You don’t know everything about Moe. But if you’ll belly up the bar, "The Simpsons" has a story for you. The animated Fox comedy will unveil a Szyslak-centric episode later this season, one that will delve into the gruff bartender’s family history.
As executive producer Matt Selman hinted earlier this season, “It’s a Shakespearean family drama, set against the backdrop of a fading mattress store empire.”
One family member who had a big impact on Moe was his father, and EW has learned that the show has tapped Ray Liotta to voice the not-so-dear dad. Liotta will play Morty Szyslak, who is described as a more cunning, evil version of Moe.
Moe’s episode — which airs in April — will also feature Debi Mazar as Minnie, Moe’s sister.
