Character

Fan

Fan in Futurama (1999), played by John DiMaggio.

Fan is a minor face in the sprawling world of Futurama, one of the many one-off or background characters John DiMaggio lends his voice to beyond his signature role as Bender. Little is fixed about who Fan is beyond a name and a moment on screen, dropped into New New York's crowded, gag-dense future.

DiMaggio's gift is turning even the smallest part into a fully committed voice, and that's the pleasure here: a flicker of a character given texture and specificity rather than treated as filler. Futurama thrives on these blink-and-you'll-miss-them inventions, and a performer this distinctive makes even a passing bit worth a second look.
