[Disclaimer: The forest fire line was written months ago, before any of the current extreme weather events. Considering what’s happening in California at the moment I wanted to put a little note here to say I’m thinking of anyone affected by the current fires. I hope you and your families are safe. The same for everyone in the paths of Harvey and Irma.]
He’s one of the reasons why I point out this movie is hilarious.

Fun Fact: They rewrote most of the dialogue for the part after James Woods auditioned. Many of the oneliners were improvised. The top gif was his greeting to the writers when they were first introduced.
This is true! Everyone they were auditioning for the part were acting all large and scary and “I AM HADES, LORD OF THE UNDERWOOORRRLLLLD” and James Woods was like “fuck it” and walked into the room like “Name is Hades. Lord of the dead. Hi, how ya doin’?”
AND THEY LOVED IT.
James Woods has told Disney he will always reprise this role whenever it arises. He loves the character that much. It’s him in Kingdom Hearts. It’s him in House of Mouse. And he will never give up this role.
