Content
Personality
Gil is written off from Shelley Levin - a character played by Jack Lemmon in the movie “ Americans ” [1] : Gil is a nervous middle-aged man who is unable to hold out on one job for a long time due to chronic bad luck. For the first time, Gil appeared in the episode " Realty Bites ", where he played the role of the unfortunate realtor .
Gil often speaks about himself in the third person . In the episode " Marge Simpson in:" Screaming Yellow Honkers " , he mentions that he has a wife and that she will leave him if he does not start earning. Later, in the same episode, Gil calls home and overhears her flirting with Gil's friend - Fred. This scene describes Gil as a very weak-willed person who cannot influence his wife. In the episode " Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2 ", Gil is surprised to find that he is divorced.
The episode " Tis The Fifteenth Season " shows a little scene in which Guil tries to commit suicide by hanging himself on a Christmas garland ; Later, in the same episode, Gilah can be seen riding around the rink behind the Simpsons' house with a garland wrapped around his neck.
Gil's only success can be considered his debut in the field of advocacy, when he helped Marge in her anti-sugar campaign in the episode of “ Sweets and Sour Marge ”. In the episode " The Frying Game ", he tried to continue his career as a lawyer, but unsuccessfully, Marge and Homer were sentenced to death in an electric chair .
Works

Lionel Hatz , showing Marge the office, said: “Welcome, Marge , our total real estate experience is fifty years, forty-two of them are with Gil”, this statement is proved by the fact that before joining the company Marge Simpson Gil did not change jobs .
