Minnesota Burns: A Simpsons Character, Not a Real Resident

Minnesota Burns does not live in Minnesota—he's a fictional character.

• Show: The Simpsons
• Voiced by: Hank Azaria
• Role: Wealthy, scheming nuclear plant owner; Homer's boss.
• Name origin: Satirical nod to "Montana" + "Burns" (Charles Foster Kane / Citizen Kane vibes).

No real person named "Minnesota Burns" resides in the state. If you're looking for a real Minnesotan with a memorable name, try Prince (Minneapolis), Bob Dylan (Hibbing), or Garrison Keillor (Lake Wobegon).
