shrek

i think chester gregory, even though he is currently starring in tarzan, would make an AMAZING donkey. can't figure out shrek though...tough call.

any thoughts?

They listed Dan Fogler and Kevin Chamberlin. They auditioned them but they didn't get cast due to other projects.

I think Shuler Hensley would make a fantastic Shrek, although he'd probably be busy with Young Frankenstein.

And jess, don't worry, Tarzan will be closing within the year. So hopefully Chester will be able to play Donkey.

"I do not believe either he or Chamberlin ever auditioned. Their names were on the wish list of creative team.
I think the problem is contract would require a one year signing. Chamberlin has an upcoming tv series and Fogler has too many film commitments."

That's what I read too. But I also read that they had them audition. I could be wrong though...

I don't think Kevin Chamberlin could pull of Shrek's vulgarness (if that's even a word) He's to nice. All of the roles he has played, even the ones where he can be mean (like Amos in Chicago) he seems like a big teddy bear. And I will always see him as Horton in Seussical anyway...sooo...lol.
