This is genuinely heartbreaking Tom Kane was such a huge role in two of if not my favorite things Star Wars and Cod Zombies. He was a legend and a great man and he will always be missed and remembered… WITH GREAT HONOR! may the force be with you always…
It's sad. He had to retire because of a stroke, and that's what ultimately killed him too.
I hope his family is doing ok. I wish them the best
R. I.P 🪦
Tommy Kane

May Tom Kane be one with the Force. To anyone who played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Kane also voiced Jedi Master Vandar Tokare and the Sith Master Uthar Wynn.
You're kidding me! TOM KANE?!?!? Well the one good thing we can take away is that he can now speak again in heaven. But still though, this is so sad here. Rip to an awesome voice actor.
Thank you Mr. Kane. Rest knowing it was a job well done. 🕯
I never expect to feel this way, but when it happens… Man. I am genuinely upset over a celebrity's death. A person that I don't personally know… Phenomenal vocal range, absolutely iconic. Great actor. The voice I hear for Yoda in my head. I love doing impressions of his voice for Quincy Sharp as well as the Spirit of Amadeus Arkham. I hope he is well
RIP
Rest in peace
man this sucks I loved him in power puff girls RIP
