Nope. Chris Farley. The guy that was supposed to voice Shrek originally before he died.

But I don't think we could find a green-skinned actor. Doesn't matter if he's white or not. It's called a mask. ;)

blackrave123 said "How about Forest Whitaker" but I think FRANKIE FAISON is closer than Forest.

The already-existing live action Shrek is Brian d'Arcy James. He doesn't look much like Shrek, but he's great in the role anyway.

Funny, I was expecting you to suggest James Gandolfini.

Brian d'Arcy James is amazing I've been listening to the cast recording of the musical and wow....

I can see both James Gandolfini and Forest Whitaker. Gerard Depardieu could be good too, but he would be Shrek with a French accent.

Robbie Coltrane

Robbie Coltrane is a perfect Shrek!

Also John Candy would have been good, before he died
