This unearthed video is more proof Zane Phillips is the PERFECT live-action Hercules

“Can he sing though?”

Zane Phillips went viral with a red-carpet interview for Out where digital director Raffy Ermac asked if the Fire Island actor was aware of the speculation that he should be cast in the titular role an upcoming live-action Hercules film from Disney.

“I would love to do it,” Phillips said. “It’s so funny, like, I have a musical theater background. I’ve sung that song [‘Go the Distance’] in a weird, random cabaret before. Yeah, I love that movie.”

Phillips’ response to the Hercules question started making the rounds online, and the internet did its thing. Just a few days later, TikTok user @jericho.edits found the performance of Phillips singing “Go the Distance” in the “random cabaret” that he mentioned — and you can watch those two videos stitched together in the video below.
