10 Movie Roles You Didn't Know Were Recast On TV

Some might not be aware that Darth Maul - as in, the fella who was sliced in half at the end of The Phantom Menace - returned in the animated Clone Wars series, but even fewer might realise that this brutal Sith was voiced by a totally different actor for those appearances in The Clone Wars and beyond.

While Ray Park was famously the man physically playing the Dathomirian Zabrak in Episode I, it was future Tick actor Peter Serafinowicz who provided the dulcet tones of Maul in that movie. By the time the believed-dead character fully came to the fore in The Clone Wars' fourth season in 2012, it was Sam Witwer providing the vocals for the rogue.

In the time since Maul's Clone Wars bow, Witwer has gone on to voice the badass in video games, the Star Wars: Rebels show, and was even featured in the closing moments of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Of course, prior to landing the Maul gig for The Clone Wars, Sam Witwer already had 'previous' with the Star Wars franchise, having voiced the main character (nicknamed Starkiller) in the Force Unleashed video game series.
