A Greek Drama Called Casting Hades
In Disney’s 1997 animated blockbuster Hercules, it’s hard to imagine Hades being voiced by anybody other than James Woods. However, before Woods was cast, filmmakers had their eye on Jack Nicholson.In the end, the studio was unable to match Nicholson’s compensation demands, and the actor chose to pass.
The new and final persona on screen has Woods’ signature sneer and rapid-fire speech tempo integrated by the animators. We literally wouldn’t have notice this, it’s the people who watch the movie so carefully that we made us enlighten and lead us to gather these fact.
