SoraAlfheim 69 Posted September 23, 2022 Billy Zane's godly voice helped a little thoughI watched Titanic and there's a scene where Zane's character says "Open your heart for me, Rose" and it gave me Vietnam flashbacks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snakeskin94_1642611873 11 Posted September 23, 2022 I get why they didn't bring him back (don't necessarily agree) but man, I feel bad for Richard EpcarHe's such a good VA but Billy Zane's like, 20 minuets of dialuge in KH 1 can't be beat for me.

SoraAlfheim 69 Posted September 23, 2022 Richard Epcar is a great voice actor, the problem for me is that he doesn't really capture that same smooth voice that Zane had in KH1It's not a bad voice, it's just a different one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunslingerkaras 0 Posted September 23, 2022 I like both, but prefer Richard Epcar because he's one of my favorite VAs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snakeskin94_1642611873 11 Posted September 23, 2022 Yeah Zane gave it off like Ansem SoD was like this, smooth operator, cool and calculating. Epcar makes him sound like a JoJo villian lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunslingerkaras 0 Posted September 23, 2022 Billy Zane encapsulates the seductive side of darkness, while Richard Epcar revels in its ferocity.Either way, you win because you're getting a very enjoyable performance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoraAlfheim 69 Posted September 23, 2022 > I get why they didn't bring him back Y'know, I actually don't get why. I know he had some controversial role in another property. But that seems like such a weak reason to not bring him back when Disney has brought back voice actors and even on screen actors with much worse things on their record.

gunslingerkaras 0 Posted September 23, 2022 I've only heard rumors and stuff regarding his firing from KH.Certainly not enough to base an actual statement off of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoraAlfheim 69 Posted September 23, 2022 I would hardly call it "firing" more than just not being asked back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoraAlfheim 69 Posted September 23, 2022 Voice-over roles are contract based, and not a full-time job, so it's not often that an actor is outright fired in the middle of their contract Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoraAlfheim 69 Posted September 23, 2022 MaybeI assume it's a Zane quote from another film Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HellboundOrc 2 Posted September 23, 2022 I’ve watched people play KH1 and like three of them recited that line as soon as they recognized Zane’s voice so now it’s stuck with me lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snakeskin94_1642611873 11 Posted September 23, 2022 True, but, at the time, without getting too much into political history (lol) that film and his comments hit very differently at the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
