Character
Donbot
Donbot in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
Donbot leads the Robot Mafia, a trio of mobbed-up automatons running protection rackets and shady deals out of New New York. He talks softly, dresses like a wiseguy crossed with a Buick, and treats every negotiation as an offer nobody should refuse. Calm, courteous, and quietly menacing, he expects respect and gets it.
Maurice LaMarche plays him as pure Brando-via-Godfather, that wheezing rasp turning even small talk into a threat, and the joke never gets old because the show trusts the impression to do the work. Donbot's exaggerated mob-boss dignity next to his very ordinary crimes makes him one of Futurama's most efficient runs at a bit.
Donbot is one of the recurring antagonists in Futurama. He is a round, greenish Robot with rings around each of his fingers. He almost always has a hat, suit jacket, and occasionally has a cane. He is the head of the Robot Mafia, joined by his subordinates Joey Mousepad and Francis X. Clampazzo ("Clamps"). His wife, Fanny, had an affair with Bender.His daughter, Bella, had sex with Bender at her sister's wedding.
