The answer is that the leg is fashioned from one of Guy’s old prosthetics to resemble Captain Ahab’s whalebone peg leg. The leg previously made an appearance, wrapped in leather, when the actor played a one-legged pirate. Guy, who was born with a leg deformity that led to amputation when he was eight, doesn’t consider himself a disabled actor and has only shown his prosthetic leg in four shows. Those roles included Hercules. “I’d just got this brand new blade and thought I’d show it off.
” He doesn’t know if the producers were specifically looking for an amputee for the part of Ahab but sees such casting as in the spirit of a show that doesn’t hide anything. There’s no trickery. Everything is real, everything is done on stage – there is no hiding as Ahab and his crew hunt the whale that lost him his leg. Rhys was already well acquainted with Melville’s story as the 1956 John Huston-directed film version is one of his favourite films.
