1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles inspired a generation to fall in love with the oversized reptiles.

The film was a huge box office smash and, naturally, it was followed up by a sequel the very next year. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze once again shone a light on the sewer-dwelling crimefighters: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.

The voice actors of those first two both came back for the second movie, but producers needed to find a replacement for the latter duo.

Raphael had previously been voiced by Josh Pais, who is still working but hasn't done much of note since the Turtles movie. As for Donatello, his original voice actor was Corey Feldman, child star sensation and maker of really bad movies.

As a result of these departures, Laurie Faso replaced Pais and Adam Carl replaced Feldman. Finding out anything about these two is a tall order, although Carl did once provide additional voices for the My Little Pony TV show.

Thankfully, the Turtles themselves were the stars of these movies, so nobody minded that a former Goonie was missing from the cast.
