Jack DeForest is a character who appears on the Season 27 episode, "The Burns Cage".
History[]
The Springfield Elementary School was making an audition for the school play based on the movie "Casablanca". Lisa was cast in the role of Ilsa, so Milhouse chose to audition as Rick so Lisa would play his love interest. However, a new student Jack entered the auditions and got Rick's role while Milhouse was Jack's Understudy.
Bart realized that only he and Milhouse auditioned for the main role, so if he was unable to perform the character, Milhouse would have to do it. They send the bullies to beat him, but their plan backfired as Jack defeated them. However, when Principal Skinner saw the fight he gave the main role from Jack to Milhouse, who was a terrible actor.
At the play, Milhouse was doing his role remarkably well, but when the play ended, it is revealed that Jack was pretending to be Milhouse playing Rick. He and Lisa then go out for float together.
Later on, he goes on a treasure-hunting adventure with Moe and Groundskeeper Willie, at one point being on a boat with Lisa.
Behind the Laughter[]
Jack is based on Rick, the lead character of the 1942 movie "Casablanca" played by Humphrey Bogart whose own middle name was DeForest.
