(Pain) injects the right amount of anguish and hilarity into one of Hades' misguided lackeys who, along with sidekick Panic, fail in their mission to get rid of Baby Hercules.  
   "I was on this film a year and a half before I realized it wasn't an 'Aladdin' sequel," jokes Goldthwait.  "Basically the scene where I turn into a snake was very difficult for myself because I'm a method actor and I had to actually spend time 
shedding my skin and getting down to my lower epiderma.  I was also disappointed because I kept showing up to the recording sessions expecting to meet Xena, but she was never there."
   As far as ad-libbing his lines, the comedian says, "Well, my idea of ad-libbing is arson and total destruction so I kinda stuck with the pages and didn't really get myself into trouble because I'm still on probation."
   He adds, "I don't like it when people say 'You know, I did this film for the kids.'  Who are they kidding?  I did this one for me, man.  I'm actually in a movie with a plot!  Normally all I do is walk in and something falls down and they yell 'Cut!'  In 'Hercules,' I'm actually part of a story so I'm very excited about being in this movie.  And it's nice to know that I'll be a keychain or a McDonald's toy."
   Goldthwait began his stand-up career performing at local clubs while in high school in Syracuse, New York.  In 1980, at age 18, he and comedian friend Tom Kenny founded "The Generic Comics."  When he was 20 he made his first appearance on "Late Night with David Letterman."  After opening for Paula Poundstone he made the move to San Francisco.  In Los Angeles his star began to rise once he was booked on a showcase night for Whoopi Goldberg which landed him a starring role in "Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment."  He followed up that project with the "Police Academy" sequels as well as "One Crazy Summer," "Scrooged," "Burglar," "Radio Land Murders" and "Shakes the Clown," which he wrote and directed.  On cable television, he has appeared in the HBO hit series "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Arli$$."  Other television credits include guest appearances on "The John Laroquette Show," "ER" and "Living Single."  His unique voice has been featured on MTV's "Beavis and Butthead" and "Unhappily Ever After."

MATT FREWER
(Panic) presses all the right buttons as the voice of Hades' distressed and hysterical minion, who along with partner Pain, manage to leave things in worse shape than they found them.
   A classically trained stage actor, he has the distinct honor of being the first actor to give voice to the Pink Panther in the syndicated cartoon series.  But it was his creation of the computerized video jockey, Max Headroom, that brought him to the attention of American audiences, making it a memorable image in television history.
   He was recently cast in a starring role of the new weekly drama, "Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal."  Other television credits include Showtime's "American Untitled," HBO's award-winning "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom," "Apollo 11" for the Family Channel and the ABC miniseries "The Stand."
   His film credits include Disney's megahit "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids," "Lawnmower Man," "Speed Zone," "Far From Home," "The Taking of Beverly Hills" and "The Fourth Protocol."
   Frewer was born in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Canada.  He is a great fan of hockey and maintains a membership in a celebrity hockey team which raises money for charity.
