Character from Futurama by Matt Groening & David X. Cohen
The greatest (self-proclaimed) actor of the 31st century and star of All My Circuits — a melodramatic robot thespian who never does second takes and has died multiple times for his art.
Calculon speaks every line as though performing Shakespeare to a sold-out audience, even when ordering coffee. He considers himself the finest actor who has ever existed, refuses to do second takes (viewing his every performance as flawless), and doesn't remember the names of anyone who isn't famous, wealthy, or royalty. He stars in All My Circuits, the 31st century's premier robot soap opera, and has owned an enormous yacht named 'Calculon's Talent' in whose pool sails a smaller yacht named 'Calculon's Pride.' He died dramatically in a world acting championship by actually drinking food coloring (the deadliest poison to robots) to increase his realism — and still lost to Langdon Cobb. He was resurrected and sent to Robot Hell, where he annoyed the Robot Devil so thoroughly with stories of his career that the Devil allowed the Planet Express crew to take him back. His operating system is Windows Vista, which causes periodic crashes.
A shiny gold-and-grey humanoid robot with a dramatically expressive face, a strong jaw, and a physique designed for maximum theatrical presence. His design evokes golden-age Hollywood leading men rendered in polished metal.
Also known as: Calculon, Calculon 2.0, Antonio Calculon Sr.
