Character
Gretsky
Gretsky in Futurama (1999), played by Billy West.
Gretsky drifts through the edges of New New York, one of the countless background faces that fill out Futurama's crowded future — a quick voice, a passing gag, gone before you can pin down much more than the name. He exists in the margins of the main cast's adventures, doing whatever small job the scene requires.
Billy West's genius on this show was never just Fry or Zoidberg — it was populating the whole city with voices like this one, each given just enough personality to land a joke and vanish. Gretsky is proof of how much texture a single line reading can add to a world without ever needing a spotlight.
