Who played Beethoven?(!)


Dog stars are 'usually' credited; K-9's 'Jerry Lee' (RIP - read his trivia, very sad but, heroic) and 'Hooch' (RIP? Doesn't say but if he is still alive he's 2 years older than me, making him 27!) from Turner and Hooch for example. What about Beethoven? If anyone knows please satisfy my curiosity.

Beethoven was played by Kris the dog and dunno whether he's alive or not.

That was fast, thanks!

I think Kris played Beethoven in Beethoven's 2nd as well. I've wondered about the dog's status as well. I kind of doubt he's still alive though, just based on the length of time since Beethoven was released. But if anyone knows, please post.

RIP Aaliyah

Wouldn't there have been different St. Bernards playing Beethoven for different parts of the film? It's unusual to have the same animal actor doing all the scenes in a movie, as they can be difficult to train to do many different things.

Chris played him. Being a Saint Bernard, he died not long after number two came out.
