...Tate Donovan) is your basic mythic hybrid--half man, half deity--recast as a clumsy teen. Superman-strong and Bambi-naive, Herc is an ideal foil for wily Meg (a subtle siren, wonderfully voiced by Susan Egan). She plays Barbara Stanwyck to his Eddie Bracken, while a gruff satyr (Danny DeVito) acts as Herc's mentor and parries the anti-Olympus scheming of Hades (James Woods...
Kilmer could be the sweetest guy in the world and his looks would still exude threat. His face is a billboard for California lust, with cool blue-green eyes, sucked-in cheeks and those Halloween wax lips, ever puckered and pouty. The rock-star-satyr features surely helped land him the Morrison role, as well as those cartoon ghosts of the King of Rock 'n' Roll in Top Secret! and True Romance.

They can scream in the audience or maybe sing backup. In childhood girls are no more encouraged to pick up a Les Paul Black Beauty than pilot an F-16. They are expected to play only one instrument: the voice...
...diavolo," remarked Marino, introducing him to one Roman patron -- This young man has the fury of a devil. Furia didn't simply mean rage; it suggested a state of inspiration, of contact with primeval forces that lie below the surface of culture -- the war god's frenzy, the satyr's beastliness, the erotic abandon of the maenad...
