Who is the IRL Troy MacClure?

This is a good question, but there isn't just one. The Simpsons' characters are an amalgamation of characteristics from many people.
Phil Hartman. You should really read the credits.

William Shatner.
He's a pastiche of George Segal, George Hamilton and Charles Grodin.
McClure was partially based on B movie actors Troy Donahue and Doug McClure, as well as Hartman himself. Following Hartman's murder in 1998, all of his Simpsons characters were retired out of respect, with Hartman's final appearance as McClure was in the tenth season episode "Bart the Mother" four months later.

He's full of ballooney.
McClure was based on the typical "washed up" Hollywood actor. B movie actors Troy Donahue and Doug McClure served as inspiration for his name and certain character aspects.[1][12] Writer Mike Reiss later met Doug McClure's daughter, who revealed that her father had found the homage funny. His children would call their father "Troy McClure" when his back was turned.[1] According to show creator Matt Groening, Phil Hartman was cast in the role due to his ability to pull "the maximum amount of humor" out of any line he was given.[12] McClure's visual appearance is similar to that of Hartman himself.[13] When he was designed, McClure was given an extra line under his eyes to suggest that the character had gotten a facelift.[14]

Hi I'm Eric Roberts! You might remember me from such films as Every movie you've ever watched and Your highschool play
Ted Danson maybe, I bet he's done his share of corporate videos

>Troy Donahue and Doug McClure
okay this makes sense - just generically handsome, washed-up b-movie Hollywood types
he wouldn't be the equivalent of any of the bigger A-listers, or even B or C listers we'd talk about today
