Did you know that in MADAGASCAR

Did you know that King Julien from Madagascar was originally only going to be a minor character with only two lines? However, when Sacha Baron Cohen auditioned for the role he improvised eight minutes of dialogue for the character that was so funny that the filmmakers rewrote the script to make King Julien a much more prominent character.

[@Mr-skelly]

Imagine being so good at your job that the entire script is rewritten to have you as a main character

[@ShutupandListen]

It happens a lot

King Julien was one of my favorite characters as a kid. Literally had the funniest accent.

[@garyscult9200]

He has his own show if you didn’t know well actually two shows

[@kingdom-dude]

No, I know he does. I remember seeing him in the Penguins of Madagascar show, but I didn’t see his other shows

[@user-zm7zl9lc6j]

You have to watch Borat, the Ali G show, and Bruno, then, he stars in all of them

Same! When i was little i used to binge watch the show king Julian!

Another fact is Robert Stack was originally going to voice Skipper, but Stack died in 2003 before production began and director Tom McGrath did a temp track and became the official voice of Skipper.

If King Julien never become a prominent character, Mort would have never became a prominent character. In addition, if King Julien didn't become a prominent character, All Hail King Julien would've never existed. If All Hail King Julien never existed, Mort would've never existed. Way to go, you made the Mort theory a thing.

[@bryanthernandez9769]

I’m glad they didn’t cut off lines for Ki g Julian because he is one of my favorites minor characters like he even had is own show I mean are they the same actor? Julian from the movies and show?
