Character
Farnsworth Clone
Farnsworth Clone in Futurama (1999), played by Billy West.
Born from Professor Farnsworth's own DNA, this clone arrives as the elderly inventor's answer to a lack of an heir — young, eager, and unmistakably his creator's copy in miniature. He wants what any child wants: attention and approval from a father figure who barely notices he exists, and reacts to being ignored with childish spite.
The joke writes itself and Billy West still finds new angles in it — a Farnsworth voice pitched younger, pettier, hungrier for approval, without ever losing the family resemblance in cadence and cackle. It's a neat bit of sci-fi silliness turned into something genuinely poignant: a kid competing with his own source code for love.
