While we associate Shrek with the hilarious Scottish brogue of Mike Meyers, the role was originally given to what actor?

Answer Chris Farley

Chris Farley was set to voice the misunderstood ogre Shrek and had recorded almost all of the dialogue, but tragically, he passed away before completion. Mike Meyers stepped in and did an outstanding job, lending his Scottish accent to the part.
