William "Willie" MacDougal, more commonly known as Groundskeeper Willie, is a recurring character on ''The Simpsons'', voiced by Dan Castellaneta. He is head groundskeeper at Springfield Elementary School. Willie is almost feral in nature and is immensely proud of his native Scotland. He is easily identifiable by his flaming red hair and beard, as well as his aggressive temperament and strong Scottish accent. ==Role in ''The Simpsons''== Groundskeeper Willie is the groundskeeper at Springfield Elementary School and lives in squalor in a shack on the school grounds. He is a Scotsman with an aggressive temper. He is an uncouth and unpleasant, though essentially harmless, character. His personality is depicted as being incompetent, quick to anger for little or no reason, slow-witted, and a heavy drinker. Willie has shown antipathy to both his employer, Principal Skinner, and Bart Simpson, who plays pranks on him. Due to the weak continuity of the series, he has claimed to be from various parts of Scotland during the series, most recently Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands in the 2012 episode 'The Daughter Also Rises'. This settled the previous continuity problem in which Willie had been stated to be a fan of Aberdeen Football Club, and to have been a resident in Glasgow. In early episodes Willie's father was said to be deceased. However, his parents were later introduced in "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", and lived near Loch Ness. In "The Girl Who Slept Too Little", it is revealed that he has a cousin Grave Digger Billy. Willie plays a supporting role in most of his episodes, but featured heavily in the episode "My Fair Laddy" in which Lisa Simpson introduced him to high culture as a science project. On two occasions, Willie frames Bart for pulling pranks that Bart would normally pull. In "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star", he unleashes a giant pie of rats on the Springfield Elementary medieval festival to get revenge for being cast as the village idiot and his cruel treatment. Skinner is quick to blame Bart and expels him. Willie is never shown being found out as the culprit, but it can be assumed that he eventually is and punished after Bart is enrolled in Catholic school and earns his way back into Springfield Elementary. In "Dark Knight Court", Willie causes hundreds of eggs to be splattered at the Springfield Easter celebration out of inbred hatred for the holiday. Bart is put on trial for the incident, only to be acquitted when Willie is caught and turned in by Lisa and Mr. Burns (as Fruit Batman). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Groundskeeper Willie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
