Hercules is a Disney character who first appeared in the 1997 film of the same name and later in the midquel television series of the same name. He is based on the mythical character Hercules, although some aspects of his life differ greatly from the original legend. For example, although he is called a "demi-god" in the myth, in the Disney version he is the full child of Zeus and Hera who has his divinity stolen from him. He popularized the phrase "Zero to Hero". In the film, he was voiced by Tate Donovan as an adult, Josh Keaton as a teenager, and Roger Bart when singing as a teenager (he never sang as an adult). Despite the fact that the TV series chronicles his teenage years, Donovan does the voice.
