Tom Cruise was astonishingly the voice of Captain Planet of Captain Planet and the Planeteers for the first six episodes, but his contract didn't kick in unless he did a seventh episode.https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/zxr0j/we_are_barbara_pyle_and_nick_boxer_cocreators_and/c690jt6/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 He was replaced with David Coburn, who believed Cruise was let go for taking the role as a "macho superhero".

When Captain Planet was first announced, Cruise personally called DIC Entertainment's talent department for the role. He was already a household name back then having starred in Top Gun.
