10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The '90s Spider-Man Cartoon
7. Lots Of Big Actors Starred In The Show
It's crazy how many famous actors appeared in the show without anyone noticing. Malcolm McDowell, who plays Alex in A Clockwork Orange, voices Whistler. Nichelle Nichols voices Blade's mother and George Takei voices Wong. Both actors are iconic for playining Uhura and Sulu in Star Trek. Also, Mary Jane's aunt was voiced by Majel Barret, who was the wife of Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry.
Alfonso Ribeiro voices Randy and James Avery voices War Machine. These actors played Carlton and Uncle Phil respectively in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Mark Hamill provided the voice of the Hobgoblin (which is why he sounds suspiciously like the Joker.)
Five-time Golden Globe winner, Edward Asner, who's best known for voicing Carl in Up, plays J. Jonah Jameson. He went on to voice Uncle Ben in Spectacular Spider-Man.
But Asner is not the only person to appear in another Spider-Man show.
Chris Barnes, who plays Peter Parker, went on to voice Electro in Ultimate Spider-Man. It's also worth mentioning that he voices Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid.
Weirdly, Scorpion was voiced by Academy Award winner, Martin Landau. After he won an Oscar for his performance in Ed Wood, Landau got so much work, he couldn’t finish his recordings for the show and had to be replaced.
