Yeardley Smith has talked countless people into being vegetarians, playing the saxophone or having a reluctant affection for Ralph Wiggum, but most of us have never seen her face. The woman who voices Lisa Simpson only occasionally takes live-action film roles, but her next screen appearance will be as a real live human, in the indie comedy High School.
The Hollywood Reporter writes that Smith and Luis Chavez (Morris from The Sarah Connor Chronicles) are joining the cast, which already features Adrien Brody and Michael Chiklis. The main characters are two stoners who plot to pass a drug test by getting their entire school high. Smith, perhaps as an older version of the ever-moral Lisa, will play a prim homeroom teacher.
The movie might wind up being your average stoner comedy, but the bizarre trio of Smith, Brody and Chiklis is intriguing. I'm at least looking forward to the sight gag of an entire school getting the munchies all at once.
