ive only seen tlk as a play in disney land florida back in 1998 i think it was so im to young to remember it. but i think he would be good or else why would they use him

[Cappio]

Hey, don't sweat about it. Opinions, 'member?? I just thought he could've been a bit more better. OK, don't get me wrong but the singing voice for I just Can't wait to be King. BLEH! I mean it was OK for a kid and without the technoligy, but still.

[Muffy]

I thought he was good! He did a very good job!

[TheRoguePrince]

he was ok, he was a good acter, but his singing was a bit on the weak side.

[SophieCub]

I've never seen him

[TheRoguePrince]

You have to see the show

[quote="Cappio"]LOL Moka. I am talking about the one who played simba during the stampede.[/quote]

I think Moka is referring to the fact that, every few months, the actors playing young Simba and young Nala change. This is because as the kids grow up (especially with Simba) their voices might be no longer suited to the part - ie. if Simba's voice breaks he won't be able to sing 'I just can't wait to be king' etc. anymore.

Also, it's unfair on the kids to tie them up doing the same show for years. So all of us who saw TLKoB in different cities at different times would have seen a different actor playing the role.

^ Indeed! Which is why I thought this poll was a little weird, since we've probably all seen different actors playing the role. The original cast member that played young Simba as YFWE said was Scott Irby-Ranniar, and here's a picture:

From the one I saw around 2006, I thought he did fine. Based off of my memory from then (It was 5 years ago when I was 10 and the memory of it is really rusty for me), I assume you're referring to how Simba was running in the stampede and then jumped up to the branch? He had to run in place for a good reason, or else there would no longer be any stage, nor a location for him to jump up on the branch. xD And then when the wire lifted him up to the branch he had to be still or else the wire would be moving around too much. Different actors could be doing different things, though. That's what I remember seeing when I went.
