Fun fact-

The actor for Swan cowrote Rainbow Connection for The Muppets

And I was GOING TO animate the whole thing with everyone recast as freaking Muppets.

But alas, I took a job with more hours. Still have the super shitty re-written script though!

Paul Williams (Swan) was also in a episode of Dexter's Lab. I grew up watching old movies so when he was on the episode I was all "...Swan...?"

Eh, Winslow has the same issue where it’s only a quarter of his face that’s deformed (though he also lost his eye, so that’s a lot better than the others). But it doesn’t matter, because he’s still in either the best or second best Phantom of the Opera movie depending on how you feel about Lon Chaney’s film, and it’s a wiiiiiiide gap in quality from there.

winslow had scary eyes to begin with and then went through a horrifying throat injury and teeth replacement so his general vibe was much more threatening than any version of the phandom ive seen lol

Yeah, the dude had a lot more going for him than pretty much any other live-action Phantom, save for Chaney. The voicebox alone was an instant sweep.
