    Default Chris Farley was supposed to be Shrek

    Interesting. What do you think of Farley as Shrek? I think it could have worked.

    I saw that video yesterday. It pretty cool, but it's hard to get Mike Myers' version of Shrek out of my head now.

    It would have worked.
    Most voices for cartoons are selected for the enjoyment of the "parent" that is accompanying the kid to movie.
    Farley as "down by the river" SNL guy or Tommy Boy would've been an easy parallel to make for a parent over to Shrek.

    Of note, Shrek (2001) came after Myers successfully did Fat Bastard in the Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)... so I think that made for a reasonable tie for us old-folk.

    Farley ~ Shrek

    Yeah, these are my thoughts as well. I guess it could have worked, Farley certainly conjures up a more Shreky image than Myers does, but now that I've associated Shrek's voice with Myers, hearing Farley's doesn't seem right in my opinion.

    Heard about this on the radio on the drive to work this morning... The audio part that they played was short, but you could already imagine Shrek with that voice. It was more raspy than Myers but MM added a little Irish touch to his, which I prefer.

    They had filmed quite I bit with Farley didn’t they?

    And I know Myers filmed the whole movie then said he didn’t like it so went back and redid all the lines with the accent.
