Stuart Devenie & Geoff Dolan on "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" (1997)

Mystic Force voice actors, Stuart Devenie (voice of Imperius, Mystic Force) & Geoff Dolan (voice of Koragg, Mystic Force) teamed up nine years before their Power Rangers roles on an episode of "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys." In one of the series' more comedic episodes, titled "...And Fancy Free," Hercules finds himself accepting a dance invitation from a local outcast who wishes to find her place in the spotlight. Intending to stop Hercules so his daughter can win, the village's Magistrate (played by Stuart Devenie) sets out to end Hercules' dance career any way he can. This usually involves sending his lead henchman (played by Geoff Dolan) into battle against Hercules on several occasions, only to be defeated at every turn. In the end Hercules and his young partner, Althea win the contest. This was Dolan's second appearance on "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" to be featured on the blog.
