Description
You remember Shredder, right? He was the blade-wielding samurai who was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' greatest nemesis. His preferred mode of transportation was a city-sized tank. He had an army of robots and genetically engineered soldiers at his command. Shredder was hands down the most awesome villain in 1980's cartoons... and he just happened to be played by the fat guy from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire.Needless to say, plus-sized actor James Avery never made an appearance in the live-action Turtles movies. If he had, this is probably how it would have looked.

To be honest, this probably would've made Shredder more dangerous, cause even though James Avery was overweight, he's built like a friggin' tank. The man was in the Navy and Vietnam to boot.

And here I was thinking he was just an extra-large target for all of Will Smith's insults!

ROFL
I just figured that out after I got TMNT season 4 on dvd. He's alot skinnier now, so maybe he could fit in the costume.

It's true, Uncle Phil is the friggin' Shredder (just like Spock was Galvatron and Steve Urkel was Sonic the Hedgehog)

Is he the "uncle Phil"?
So funny, he's not any japanese-ish to me!

Nice XD But where did you learn this? Just by reading the names of both the characters?

Well, a peek at IMDB and TMNT fan sites didn't hurt... plus I knew that James Avery has done voice overs in the past. He played the Junkyard Dog in Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling, and War Machine in Spiderman. You could definitely tell that it was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire's James Avery in both roles, although he adopted a silly Southern accent in the wrestling cartoon.

Ah. I am not really into the old stuff. I have seen Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire but I have never gone into detail about who plays what.
