Leroy

Leroy appears as one of the many odd faces populating the fringes of Futurama's 31st-century New New York — a minor figure glimpsed rather than dwelt on, defined less by a running arc than by a single moment or joke that gives him his flavor. He behaves exactly as the scene requires and no more.

The pleasure here is Maurice LaMarche's range: an actor famous for booming villains and pompous grandstanders slipping into a small, odd part and making it land. Futurama thrives on these throwaway citizens who exist for one perfect beat, and LaMarche's control of voice and timing is what makes Leroy's brief moment worth remembering at all.
