Albert

Albert turns up as one of the countless faces populating New New York, a small, quick sketch of a character rather than a headline player. He drifts through his scene with the deadpan matter-of-factness that defines so much of the show's background population, present for a joke or a moment rather than a arc.

Tress MacNeille built a career on exactly this kind of role, dropping a fully formed voice into a handful of lines and making it land. Futurama thrives on these throwaway citizens, and her knack for quick, confident character work is why even a blink-and-you-miss-him role like this one register at all.
