This guy has starred in some of my favorite animes (Fate/Zero, Bleach, Katangatari, FMA...), and I didn't even realized it.
May he Rest in Peace.

None of his anime roles are familiar to me sadly, but it's awesome to know he did some significant dubs for Hollywood films.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.
