The man who can replace Harry Shearer on The Simpsons

Ned Flanders and Mr Burns

Harry Shearer provides the voice for many Simpsons characters including Ned Flanders (L) and Mr Burns

For 25 years he's been the voice of Ned Flanders, Mr Burns, Waylon Smithers, and countless other characters on The Simpsons.

Now after a contract dispute, it seems Harry Shearer could leave, saying he wants "the freedom to do other work".

The hit animation's executive producer, Al Jean, tweeted the parts will be "recast if Harry does not return".

Newsbeat's auditioned a man who could replace Shearer - 23-year-old Sean Burke.

"I can do about 20 Simpsons voices, I suppose."

Watch Sean here.

Sean told Newsbeat that he struggles with female characters - and had trouble getting his Marge voice right.

"Homer is actually the most difficult. I had to practise in an empty house, because my early attempts were hilariously bad."

No disrespect to Harry Shearer, but Sean thinks that the characters the star voices are amongst the easiest to imitate.

"Mr Burns is pretty easy. You just have to try to sound like Stewie Griffin from Family Guy."

For comparison, we put Sean up against Newsbeat listeners Adam, from Leeds, and Jeremy, from Reading, to see who had it what it takes to join one of the world's biggest cartoons.

There was only one clear winner.

After his clear success at Newsbeat's interview stage, Sean told us what he thought of a Simpsons without Harry Shearer.

"I haven't actually been watching the Simpsons for years now, I'd say that's the case for a lot of people.

"I mean series one to 10 was the real sweet spot for the Simpsons, so I think it's already had its golden years."

Not really the kind of noises you want to be making if you want the job, Sean.

"I think maybe, it's the beginning of the end, because Harry plays 10 to 15 characters. And main ones too."

Despite all of that, Sean wouldn't have to think twice about taking the job.

"Absolutely! I'm still not going to say no to that now. I'm available!"
