10 Celebs You Didn't Know Appeared In Futurama
9. Buzz Aldrin As Himself
It's a small appearance, but that really only serves to make it even more mind-blowing.
In the Season 6 episode Cold Warriors, astronaut and second man on the moon Buzz Aldrin serves as a judge for Fry's school science competition in a flashback.
Seeing as space travel was a lifelong dream of Fry's, the astronaut's presence works from a narrative point of view, but given the character's small part, and the fact that your average viewer would never recognise Aldrin's voice, surely they had one of the show's talented voice actors deliver Aldrin's lines, right?
Well, no, actually. The man himself came in to voice his character. While he's probably not hugely busy with space work nowadays, it's still a little surprising to learn that he went to the trouble all for a role that most people would never know was actually him.
He's probably used to being overlooked at this point, which is all the more reason to enjoy his part in the show.
