I really believe the success of that franchise could have saved his life.

I've always been curious to hear it, but Myers was fricking perfect for it. I mean,
come on, he's just perfect for the role:

Chris would have been better if he did a Scottish accent. That's the only reason Meyers was better. He would have sucked too using his real voice.

I think that based on the drawings in that clip, if they had stuck with making Shrek look scruffy and rugged like that, Farley's voice would have fit.

With how Shrek eventually ended up, however, Myers' voice was perfect.

You can't really compare this to the final version because once they decided to recast they rewrote the script to accommodate the new version of the character. Shrek was designed specifically for Farley so they basically had to start over when they had a new actor.

Plus had Farley not died it's likely he would have been reworking the material until the end of the process. The story with Myers is that he came up with the idea of doing the Scottish accent at the 11th hour which forced everything to be recorded and lot of animation work to be redone.

I love this take a lot, though; it feel surprisingly grounded. Farley's career was about to go nuclear and Shrek would have contributed big time.
