Title Role Recast Mid-Scene in "Return of the Ape Man" (1944) (video)




Actor George Zucco, as "The Ape Man", received third billing after Bela Lugosi and John Carradine.

But a sudden illness (or, perhaps, second thoughts) made him drop out before a single scene was completed.

It begins with two brief shots of Zucco on the table. 

Then Zucco is replaced mid-scene by actor Frank Moran.

Glenn Strange Transforms Into A Werewolf In "Mad Monster" (1942) (video)




Glenn Strange was known for his many western roles...

...as well as playing the Frankenstein monster in three Universal films.

But before that, Glenn played another, very different monster.

In "The Mad Monster" (1942), Glenn's weakminded character Petro is transformed by George Zucco...

...into a fearsome werewolf who does Zucco's bidding.
