Comment on What's going on with Quentin Tarantino?
XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 days agoI guess he does have many credits as Shaggy. I thought he’d be known for being the main bad guy in Scream. And, on this platform, I thought we’d all go for Hackers. No, just me and u/zerocool?
In Hackers he wasn’t really the protagonist, more of a (really good) side character IIRC. It was also in 1995.
In contrast, he’s got some 50 or 60 credits as Shaggy now, spanning from 2002 to whenever he stops being Shaggy. Live action, animated, LEGO versions, games, etc.
He mentioned in an interview that he found out that he was no longer the voice of Shaggy when he saw Will Forte credited with the role. Lillard apparently wasn’t even invited to audition.
Will Forte has one Shaggy credit in 2020.
Lillard has several after that, including one in 2025 and IMDb lists one upcoming credit too.
He’s still the voice of Shaggy IMO, just got shafted for one reboot.
Well, that’s good news. I actively stopped paying attention to new Scooby news after how hurt he expressed feeling. I wish Warner would stop making it so morally difficult to enjoy their IPs and support their creators.
That’s why I specified “on this platform”, where the demographic leans towards having been 10-20 years old at the time of the movie release and going into IT/coding after that. But I mean, I was being a little facetious with it.

I mean probably half to a third of the people here were born around the movie release date or later.
Plenty of Gen Z on this platform.
HACK THE PLANET!
Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I’ve seen. Hack the planet!
Oh shit! Cereal Killer became Shaggy‽ I would say that was typecasting, but I’m not trying to hate.
I think you’re kind of overselling the cultural significance of Scream.
I dunno, he was in Scream 6 and will be in 7 since apparently they want to keep going with this series. I still see Ghostface masks every year at Halloween. But, sure, I can agree his presence in the movie isn’t as culturally significant.
On the flipside, Shaggy is an existing character to me that happened to be played by Lillard in later adaptations. He’s not the face of Shaggy to me because Shaggy was a cartoon first.
But that’s my take.
I wasn’t aware they made more than three…
Scream 3 was the bad one, IIRC — it’s only up from there!
Whichever one gave Ghostface the super power to copy anyone’s voice. Dumb AF. And doesn’t return in the newer films.
They’re all pretty clever, but that one was a bit daft.
Im just going by what I saw people say when I first encountered tbh :3 I couldn’t name you a single celebrity or what they’ve been in honestly, actor names is not a thing I ever paid attention to lol
I get that for people who had his live Shaggy role their entire lives. Scooby was primarily a cartoon for me. But I was surprised and understanding of him potentially being most famous for Shaggy, as he has like 20 credits to his name. Presumably for a lot of voice work
Honestly if not for this comment I wouldn’t know he was the live action Shaggy and not the animated one haha. I never watched the live action ones (not that I’d recognize him even if I had tbh) :3
The cartoon was Casey Kasem, the tip 40 countdown guy.
I only just watched them this year, they are actually quite good and more geared towards adults.
