Santito

Santito is a fictional character who appears in the American animated television series "The Simpsons". The character is voiced by actor Hank Azaria and first appeared in the episode "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson" which aired in 1997. Santito is portrayed as a somewhat sleazy and opportunistic character, often found in the background of episodes set in Springfield's criminal underworld or less reputable establishments.

Santito's role in "The Simpsons" is typically minor, serving as a character actor to fill out scenes or provide a brief comedic interaction. He is often depicted as a patron at Moe's Tavern or as a minor associate of other recurring characters with criminal connections, such as Fat Tony. His dialogue is generally limited and serves to reinforce his established persona. While not a central figure, Santito contributes to the diverse tapestry of Springfield's inhabitants, adding to the show's satirical depiction of American life and its various social strata. His appearances, though infrequent, are consistent with the show's long-standing tradition of creating memorable, if minor, supporting characters.
