Wanna play a game? And not in a creepy Saw kind of way. We're talking in a fun, light-hearted, guess who kind of way.

Above we have an exclusive clip from The Lion King sequel, Disney Channel's The Lion Guard. And in the footage we meet the latest Disney villain to join the ranks of Scar, Ursula and the rest. It's a snake named Ushari, and while he doesn't seem too menacing now, we know better than to relax around a bad Disney dude. Anyway, care to guess who is voicing the character who will cause all kinds of trouble for Simba and Nala's son, Kion?

Hint: This person just won a Golden Globe.

Give up?
