Why did Billy Zane drop Kingdom Hearts? I think we can all agree he was the best voice Ansem voice by far.

I loved his voice.
Charles Peterson
I agree 100%. Spock was great old Ansem and Zane was the perfect younger.
Charles Kelly
There are 2 major theories:
1. He got Blacklisted due to this movie that could have been interpreted as Anti-American.
2. There was a rumor going around a couple years ago that he didn't reprise roles.
Nolan Rogers
you do know that there is no relation between the two right?
(old ansem) is ansem the wise
while (young ansem) as you know him is xehanorts heartless or if you want to be super technical terrahnorts heartless.

Is he JUST or not?
Jace Rogers
They are basically the same person like Sora and Roxas.
Wait, Chris Lee was Ansem the REAL Ansem. I meant Old Master Nort and "Ansem" Zane are same person
Jordan Martin
Isn't that that british guy in every american porn?
Daniel Peterson
Ahh yes of course!
my bad.
why do all the good voice actors/actors die?
Jonathan Hughes
No? There are/were a lot of celebrity actors in KH. We have Mark Hamill and had Leonard Nimoy.
Oliver Cooper
He was awful in Twin Peaks.

He's the guy who wasn't Jack in Titanic

allegedly his pink slip just said "shut it, zane"

HAD Mark Hammil, had.
Zachary Foster
Why wouldn't we have him again?
Jaxson Ramirez
He was killed in Birth

Truely the dankest KH meme.
Go watch Blank Points.
Noah Murphy
If I remember right, he either quit during all the post 9/11 drama because Disney wasn't Muslim friendly enough or he was fired because he was being all pro Muslim bullshit after 9/11
Jason Howard
he couldn't return his role, because his heart had returned to darkness, all hearts are born in darkness, and his was no different.
Jack Cruz
What movie?
Also, that makes no sense, KH is a japanese franchise
Joshua Johnson
>KH is a japanese franchise
Yeah but there's an English localization team and Disney has the majority/all of the rights. Square just develops the games.
As for which movie, I don't know off the top of my head.
Logan Sanders
He named the jews, it killed his career.
Hunter Lopez
kek
he was never in the mummy, the fuck are you talking about

Why did they get a different VA for Sephiroth? KH1 version is the best one.
Nicholas King
You know KH1 Sephiroth was voiced by Lance Bass and couldn't enunciate to save his life, right?
Tyler Richardson
I wish Billy Zane would do more voice work. He was great as Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. He's my ideal Lex Luthor.
I actually liked Lance Bass as Sephiroth. I really like the idea of an angelic pretty boy voice for a villain like that. Though George Newbern is great too.
Juan Roberts
The same reason Mandy More, Hayden Panettiere, Lance Bass, Christi Carlson Romano, and David Boreanaz all dropped out.
After the first game Disney realized KH simply isn't going to make enough money to warrant spending that kind of money on voice actors.
Brandon Scott
>After the first game Disney realized KH simply isn't going to make enough money to warrant spending that kind of money on voice actors.
So did you not play past the first game or?
Henry Nelson
Not that I mind Richard Epcar (on the contrary he's one of my favorite vidya VAs) but Billy Zane really did a fantastic job making Ansem out to be a top-tier villain, it's a damn shame he never came back for whatever reason.
Oddly, upon replaying KH2 Paul St Peter's Xemnas is surprisingly close to Zane's performance despite the switch in Ansem's actor.
Joseph Morris
And to add to this, Hayden's has come back to play Kairi/Xion. A lot of these were straight up scheduling issues or personal ones. Disney still regularly shells out money for KH's VAs. The funniest thing about Mandy is that she's pretty much assured to come back as she does VAing for Disney on a regular basis as she plays Sheriff Callie and she's the voice of Rapunzel.
Wyatt Roberts
>KH2 Paul St Peter's Xemnas is surprisingly close to Zane's performance despite the switch in Ansem's actor.
I'm really gonna miss Paul St. Peter as Xemnas. That's one hell of a baritone.
Robert Ross
COME OPEN YOUR HEART
Luis King
Don't worry, they'll shoehorn Xemnas into 3 somehow.
Landon Lewis
I mean after 3. Of course he'll be in 3, that's literally part of the plot of that game.
Nathan Campbell
The only voice change I will ever be THAT bothered by is Aerith's. Holy shit her KH2/AC voice is fucking horrible.
Owen Flores
Don't tell me you didn't like the line "I will send you to the Promised Land".
Nolan Moore
I think the movie was "Valley of the Wolves: Iraq".
>mfw I never hear about this movie on Cred Forums
Brayden Diaz
What? You didn't think Sin Harvest Angel was the pinnacle of KH voice acting?
Matthew Stewart
George Newbern is better, but Lance wasn't bad.
>tfw he voiced Superman using his Sephiroth voice
Mandy Moore was head-and-shoulders above Mena Suvari as Aerith, though.
Tyler White
I want daddy Zane back.
Colton James

Holy shit I really do hope they get a new actress for the FF7 remake Aeris/th. The KH1 actress really was great.
Grayson Peterson
In every game with ansem I thought it was the same actor. I actually prefer the literally who as sephiroth from the first game
Ian Rodriguez
Bentley Wilson
Amazing.
Blake Adams
He read the script
Carson Watson
I had such a crush on him as a kid. His voice got me hot and bothered.
