Chris Farley is without a doubt one of the best comedians of all time and one of the best members of Saturday Night Live in the show's history. Farley died at age 33 from a cocaine and morphine overdose in the morning of December 18, 1997. Before his death, Farley was cast to voice Shrek in
Shrek. It was said Farley recorded 90% of his dialogue for the film before his death. After his death, Dreamworks decided to recast Farley's Shrek with Michael Myers who would voice Shrek in all of the Shrek films and some cartoon specials. Michael Myers has always portrayed Shrek with a Scottish accent. We have never seen nor heard Chris Farley's portrayal of Shrek until now...

Would you have preferred to see Farley as Shrek or do you prefer Myers's performance? Think we all can agree, no one could replace Eddie Murphy as Donkey. Comment below, let me know.
