Plus, James Woods is like almost 70 years old (they weren't going with ancient, or wise, but a middle age con man) and expensive.

I'm sort of harsh, but that's my opinion, so don't take it to heart. When I said " Cannon" I didn't mean like that.. It's just we Disney fans grew up with James' voice as Hades. So in sense he was the first. (and James is part of Disney Fandom now, for he voiced Hades, and ABC/Disney is using Herc's tale, so just made sense to me. Since Disney themselfs own a version of Herc too)

I also feel this Hades still captures the Used car saleman persona still hehe Oh, I know. Kingdom Hearts the video game series has his voice acting, but I like to keep the knowledge that Once isn't some Live action Disney. Like some were upset by Megara in Once, but it's not Disney Meg, it's Once's Meg.

Hades has a little bit of it mixed in with their "Distinguished Gentleman" persona that they created for him....with the ahem, fire hair.
