Professor Frink
Professor John Frink, sometimes referred to as Doctor Frink or Dr. Jonathan Frink, Jr., is Springfield's local scientist and a professor at either Springfield Heights Institute of Technology or Springfield University, and is extremely brilliant, though somewhat socially inept. Frink often tries to use his bizarre inventions to aid the town in its crises, but they usually only make things worse. He is a recurring character in The Simpsons and a supporting character in The Simpsons Movie, but he has a cameo appearance.
