Lewis is a student in Springfield Elementary School. He is one of Bart's friends, and one of only a handful of African-American students at the school. His best friend is Richard.

Biography

Lewis is one of Bart's friends and fellow fourth-graders in Mrs. Krabappel's class. He once annoyed a guilt-ridden Bart when he hid under a pile of leaves and pretended to be Principal Skinner's corpse^[2], and he failed to vote for Bart in the class presidential election^[3]. He is most commonly seen playing in the schoolyard with his friend Richard.

Lewis was one of the children in the Model UN Club that were stranded on an island and, thinking he was going to die, Bart mistook him for Wendell^[4]. Lewis also plays on the Mighty Pigs pee-wee hockey team and according to gossip is a very good ballroom dancer^[5]. He apparently owns a gun. He was seen discharging it in school during the episode ^[6] as the class cheered after learning they were going to have a movie day.

In The Simpsons Game, Lewis is one of the children wearing Itchy and Scratchy masks who attack Marge and Lisa on the level "Mob Rules".

Behind the Laughter

In earlier seasons, Lewis could be considered as Bart's second-best friend. As the roles of Nelson and Milhouse were enlarged, Lewis was seen with Bart less and less often and was finally relegated to background character status.

Throughout the series, Lewis has been voiced by Jo Ann Harris, Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Hayden, Russi Taylor and Maggie Roswell. Due to the fact that he rarely speaks, he has no specific voice actor.

His most recent speaking role is in "Stealing First Base", when after Edna Krabappel's class is moved to another classroom, he asks a student if he can sit with him. He was seen with Melissa at the Le Petite Appetit during the episode, "The Daughter Also Rises". It's likely the two were dating during the episode. It's also possible Melissa is Lewis' girlfriend.

Description

Lewis normally wears a tanned shirt with a single cream stripe, green shorts, and tanned shoes. He has black hair. In "Bart of Darkness", he was seen wearing orange swimming trunks. In the episode "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", his hair color and skin complexion changed during one scene in the episode. He wears purple pajamas and purple slippers.
