Julian Assange plays himself in “The Simpsons”

Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange — who is under house arrest in the U.K. in connection with sex crimes allegations in Sweden — will play himself on the 500th episode of Fox’s “The Simpsons,” the Washington Post reports.

The Reuters reports that during the episode -- which airs Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. and is titled "At Long Last Leave" -- Homer, Marge and their lemon-hued brood are run out of Springfield and join an off-the-grid community outside of town, where they find themselves as new neighbors to Assange.

"Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly that Assange recorded his part from an undisclosed location last summer, while under house arrest in Britain.
