10 Dream Castings For The Upcoming He-Man Movie
7. Clancy Brown - Beast Man
One of TV and film's most diverse actors, Clancy Brown is no stranger to animation, motion capture or full-body prosthetic makeup. Whatever form this character takes, Brown's experience, coupled with his gravelly voice and imposing physique, makes the role of the villainous Beast Man practically his for the taking.
The right-hand man of Skeletor, Beast Man is a savage fighter and one of He-Man's most prolific adversaries. Robbed of his ability to speak in the 1987 live action movie, Masters of the Universe, it'd be nice to see a version of the character that can project a little more personality this time around.
He's mostly used for comic relief in the '80s cartoon, depicted as a one-dimensional tough guy whose general ineptitude constantly manages to scupper Skeletor's plans. But there do exist darker versions of him that seek to overthrow Skeletor and rule Eternia, which is an equally plausible course for him in a live action interpretation.
From Spongebob's Mr. Krabs to Thor: Ragnarok's Surtur, it goes without saying that Clancy Brown is the one for the job whichever version of Beast Man we get.
