and even twisted wigs...

I would hope that, if the show brings Jafar in, they will stick with Naveen in the role, as he did a splendid job on Wonderland, and is really a wonderful fit for the role. (not that it would be the first time the recast a role, just the first time they recast a major character that had more than 15 minutes of screen time previously).

As for the person that was seen on set, my guess is that it was the male role (either Sinbad or Aladdin) that has been cast but not yet announced (we probably won't get the announcement until SDCC). I'm still holding out for Sinbad, but I'm starting to think it more likely to be Aladdin.
