Character
Ten Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Eight
Ten Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Eight in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
A numbered designation rather than a name, this figure exists somewhere in Futurama's parade of clones, drones, and mass-produced beings — one unit among many, defined by a serial number instead of an identity. It shows up doing whatever such units do: following orders, filling a slot, being interchangeable.
The joke is baked into the credit before a line is even spoken — a character introduced only as a number is already a small satire of bureaucratic dehumanization, Futurama's favorite target. Maurice LaMarche, a voice actor built for grandiosity, brings just enough conviction to a nothing role to make the absurdity land.
