TNG kept Patrick Stewart from taking on the role of ...

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Jafar in Disney's "Aladdin'.

You think he would have been good in the role?

He said it was his biggest regret.

 

[Kegek]

He would have been great.

But Picard was great too.

Patrick Stewart does not have the voice range to do that role. Listen to the actor that did it for the movie. His voice is very dynamic. Patrick Stewart always in whatever he does, sounds like Patrick Stewart. No don't get me wrong I like Patrick Stewart but, no it would not have been good for him to do it.

wws

The only voice acting I've heard him do that comes to mind is when he's been Picard, Locutus, or the lead Stonecutter (where he was meant to sound like him), so I don't think I've heard his full talent as a voice actor. To my knowledge though he'd sound pretty Picard-like. Probably not the best for Jafar.

btw, I can't say that name anymore in relation to Disney withotu wanting to add 'Kree!' after it.

He was good as Lord Yupa in Nausicaa. But yes, it was obvious the whole time it was Captain Picard.

 

[The Laughing Vulcan]

Same as Lloyd Steam in Steamboy. But at least that Lancashire accent got put to good use.

 

[Gepard]

^Also the antagonist (his name escapes) in TMNT. Sounded exactly like Picard there as well.

Methinks there is a pattern.

He does the voice of Avery Bullock, Deputy Director of the CIA in American Dad and he sounds like Patrick Stewart in that role too. Of course the character also looks just like Patrick Stewart too so I don't think it's an accident.

damn, I missed that movie

 

[TheSeeker]

^You didn't miss much. I thought it was a bit disappointing.

Jafar was middle-eastern and Stewart's European.

Him taking the part would be *all together now, kids* racist!

 

[DumbDumb2007]

As good as he is Patrick Stewart is stiff and like wood. ben Kingsley is fluid and moveable in his performances. after Picard and the Professor from X MEn theer is not much for him to do.
The next Great role for Patrick Stewart to play would be "M" in the next James Bond film. Judi Dench should retire.

 

[ClayinCA]

No, no, he's got to do Doctor Who before he retires...

 

[Seven of Five]

He played Adventure in 'The Pagemaster!' Okay, his accent wasn't all that. A piratey-sounding Patrick Stewart if memory recalls. But still, a little different than his other voice work. :thumbsup:

And who could forget his turn as a conspirator in "Conspiracy"? I think I saw that movie many years ago...but I can't say I remember it. I imagine he sounded a lot like Patrick Stewart.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

He could've been a good Jafar...

 

[K-Star]

I've forgotten what Jafar sounded like...

I believe you are referring to Conspiracy Theory which starred Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. I remember seeing him in that role and thinking that his American accent was very bad. Don't get me wrong, I love Patrick Stewart as an actor, I just think he should stick to his native accent.

 

[Kegek]

Patrick Stewart with an American accent?

I tried to find a youtube clip, but no such luck. Anyone have a sample?

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Actually I picture Patrick Stewart as the perfect man to play Kohler in 'Angels and Demons'. the character is an intelligent bald man in a wheel chair. It'd be a homage to his part in X-Men and the fact that Ian McKellin played a role in the Da Vinco Code provides an interesting paralel
