Orphan

An orphan appears briefly in Futurama's sprawling world of side characters, one of the many one-off faces that populate New New York without a name the show bothers to dwell on. He exists at the edges of a scene, doing exactly what the moment needs and no more.

John DiMaggio's gift is disappearing into these small parts, giving even a nameless orphan a distinct voice and a flicker of personality that outlasts his screen time. It's the kind of throwaway character that rewards a rewatch, proof of how densely Futurama layers its background jokes.
