Chris Farley, for many who did not know, was the original voice of Shrek before Mike Myers. Farley had recorded almost all the voice work for the film before his passing from a drug overdose in 1997. So you can imagine that the character was going to be way different and usually they may have decided to just hire a voice actor to record the rest of the lines but they instead decided to go with Mike Myers.

Who knows how big of a hit Shrek would have been with Chris Farley instead of Myers. It may not have been as big of a hit or maybe it would have been bigger. We can never rewind time, unless your Eric Stoltz and have access to a time traveling Delorean, but listening to this audio is really weird. Chris Farley’s take is way more humble than Myers who took it a different direction from his former SNL cast mate.
