Lancy Trew

Lancy Trew turns up in Futurama's sprawling, cheerfully absurd New New York as one of the many odd faces populating the crowd of aliens, robots, and mutants Fry and company bump into. She's sketched in quick, broad strokes typical of the show — a personality more suggested than explained, existing to add one more strange note to the world.

Katey Sagal, best known as the show's lead voice of Leela, brings the same easy comic timing to smaller parts like this one, finding a quick, distinct rhythm even in a few lines. Futurama's gift is filling its background with characters this vivid, and performers this skilled make even a glimpse memorable.
