Mako passed away last week

[Lhorgrim]

Mako, the wizard from the Conan movies, passed away of cancer last week. He also played Aku's voice in the Samurai Jack series, as well as many voice overs and film roles.

His voice has been a trigger for my imagination for years, not to mention the (badly imitated) voice of several of my NPCs. "Let me tell you of the days of High Adventure!".

Obituary

Rest in Peace, Big Shark!

His final legacy will be for the next generation of TMNT fans next March 30th.....he is the new voice of Splinter.

Wow, that's too bad. Besides Conan, he was pretty much a stable of TV (and movies) from the 1960s on, over 40 years. He was one of those really distinct looking (and sounding) people. TV won't be the same without him.

He was a great one.

He was also the voice of Iroh, the uncle of Prince Zuko, on Avatar.
