1. David Schwimmer -- Fat Boy
   In 2007, David directed his first film, the British comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run, produced by Robert Jones, where he again teamed up with British actor Simon Pegg. He had previously starred with Pegg in the movie Big Nothing and briefly in Band of Brothers.
2. Edward G. Robinson
   Born Emmanuel Goldenberg, Edward G. Robinson was a stocky, forceful, zesty star of Hollywood films who was best known for his gangsters roles in the '30s. A "little giant" of the screen with a pug-dog face, drawling nasal voice, and a snarling expression, he was considered the quintessential tough-guy actor. Having emigrated with his family to the U.S. when he was ten, "Robinson" planned to be a rabbi or a lawyer, but decided on an acting career while a student at City College, where he was elected to the Elizabethan Society. He attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts on a scholarship, and, in 1913, began appearing in summer stock after changing his name to "Edward G." (for Goldenberg). "Robinson" debuted on Broadway in 1915, and, over the next 15 years, became a noted stage character actor, even co-writing one of his plays, The Kibitzer (1929). He appeared in one silent film, "The Bright Shawl"...
3. Jenny Eclair
   Comedian and writer Jenny Eclair was the first woman to win the Perrier Award. She now hosts her own show on LBC radio and has appeared in a number of West End productions. She lives with her husband Geof and daughter Phoebe in south-east London
4. Springfield Nuclear Power Plant -- Homer Simpson
   It’s no accident that the bumbling Homer Simpson works as the safety inspector of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. When The Simpsons was created in the 1980s, nuclear power was, well…a joke. The general public was spooked by the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island accidents. No one wanted more nuclear power plants or the worry that went along with them. Plants were considered hazards. Many began to lose money, and government bailouts soon followed.
5. The Simpsons
   The Simpsons' opening sequence is one of the show's most memorable hallmarks. Most episodes open with the camera zooming through the show's title towards the town of Springfield. The camera then follows the members of the family on their way home. Upon entering their house, the Simpsons settle down on their couch to watch television. The opening was created by David Silverman, the first task he did when production began on the show.[58] The series' distinctive theme song was composed by musician Danny Elfman in 1989, after Groening approached him requesting a retro style piece. This piece, which took two days to create, has been noted by Elfman as the most popular of his career.[59]

7. The Simpsons Road Rage -- Games
   As an unconventional driving game, The Simpsons Road Rage turns the various characters from the much loved TV show into glorified taxi cab drivers. You begin the game with the main Simpson clan as the available selection of drivers. Each has their own special car, and as you play the game and earn money from cab fares, other characters and cars are unlocked. You ... start off with one location, Evergreen Terrace, a section of Springfield that includes the elementary school and church, as well as Krusty Burger and Kwik-E Mart. You also unlock other locations during the game by earning money.
