Princess and the Frog villain revealed: Dr. Facilier
September 2nd, 2009 | 
Author: By Willem de Vocht,
At the last press conference given by Disney, the villain in the coming movie “Princess and the Frog” was finally revealed. Dr. Facilier, a voodoo doctor who turned the story’s main character in a frog, will be the first real remarkable and recognizable villain in the Disney stable, after Hades in the Disney classic “Hercules” in 1997. The part will be voiced by actor Keith Davids, a rather unknown actor having played parts in e.g. Platoon and voiced many documentaries. Several pictures of Dr. Facilier were released during the conference, which I will put in this post. I personally can’t wait until this movie hits the theaters on December 11th and to see this villain in full glory.

Just an FYI: Keith David is oft-employed and VERY well known, particularly to the Black community. He’s one of my favorite “grown man” actors. His voice, whether reciting Shakespeare or uttering gutteral, “in the hood” street-corner language is magnetic, and he’s not bad to look at, either! Check him out on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0202966/
