Liam Neeson Replaced Brian Cox as Aslan’s Voice
“During early production of Disney's 2005 adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Scottish actor Brian Cox was initially cast to voice the lion Aslan. After director Andrew Adamson reviewed recordings, he decided the role required a different vocal quality and recast the part with Liam Neeson. Neeson later described his preparation for the role, including trips to African safaris to study real lions, emphasizing the need for both authority and paternal kindness in portraying Aslan. Cox confirmed the change in interviews, noting it was the first time he had ever been fired from a project.”
