Well at least he didn't die in the ring like so many others...

 

[The Predaking]

I can't believe that he did everything before he was even 40.

 

[Greebtron]

RIP to the Master and the Ruler of the world.

 

[Teufel]

I only knew him from DS9, but he had a great voice and really made a character shine that could've been an obnoxious misfire. RIP.

DS9 is quickly catching up with Babylon 5

I just posted this in the Star Trek thread, but he deserves it here too. The man was active in the business for 40 years before I even saw him in DS9.

He has become one with the force, in the words of a wise green alien "Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not."

 

[Ironbite4]

Yep...gonna be hurting on this one.

Ironbite-for a lot of reasons.

 

[Caldwin]

Oh geeze! Star Wars, Lion King, Red October, Coming to America, Conan the Barbarian...bloody hell! He was one of those, when he spoke, it only took one word for you to know who was talking.

This is truly a great loss.

 

[The Predaking]

Man, that one hurts. Not only for his iconic voice over for Darth Vader, but for his other roles in film. Coming to America and Field of Dreams were some iconic films of his. Not to mention being the iconic Conan villain.

RIP good sir. Thank you for all you have done, and give Carrie Fisher a hug from all of us down here.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

This hurts, but 93 is a good run. He leaves behind a legacy the rest of us wouldn't achieve if we lived to be 200.

The man was a Tiberium War Hero!

 

[Ungnome]

Should I watch the City Limits episode of MST3K in tribute?

 

[spikeriley]

We have indeed lost a legend, as he was also famous for voicing Mufasa in The Lion King (both the original and the live-action remake).

So in the words of Scar: Long live the king.
