Aw man that sucks. I absolutely loved him as Miroku. All this just as the new Inuyasha series dropped. I can't imagine any other English voice actor in the role.
Why did he die?
No word just yet.

The man behind the mask, David Prowse, has passed at 85 after a short battle with an unknown illness. Though most famous as the original face of Anakin Skywalker he was also a famous bodybuilder and a two time Frankenstein's monster for Hammer Film.

Just heard about this last night. Really sad to see someone this important to a trilogy as groundbreaking as Star Wars die.

Screw this year.

I never watched the show, but that's still super sad, especially given how young she was.

Osamu Sakuta, who played the titular role in Seiun Kamen Machineman (Nebula Mask Machineman) has passed away according to friends at 62.

Once more, I have not seen much of the series, but any loss in the Tokusatsu community is a sad one.

One of Hollywood's all time great movie thugs Tommy "Tiny" Lister (The Fifth Element, Friday, The Dark Knight) has died at age 62 of possible Covid complications. The African American actor known for his intimidating voice and hulking frame was famous for playing thugs and henchmen on the big screen. He also had a short stints as wrestlers for both the WWF (Zeus) and WCW (Z-Gangsta).

I only read Crab's Moon, which was a very mean-spirited, misanthropic book for being about killer crabs attacking a summer camp. Sad to hear about his passing, nonetheless.

MF Doom was a legend. 2020 just had to do one final blow :(

His "Godzilla" album was great, I'm definitely gonna be blasting his records this year. He had a such a lyrical talent.

"Right, wrong... Nobody's got a clue what the difference is in this town. So I'm gonna have more fun... and live crazier than any of 'em." - Goro Majima.
