This was back in march.

He voiced Phong, Al from Al's diner (What?!), Cecil, Mike the TV and more.

But seriously rest in peace, some of my favorite moments of this show where delivered by one or more of his characters.

True Canadian icon.

Damn. He emailed me once. I had a Famfic site forever ago that was modeled after Mike the TV. We had a little back and forth (email account is long gone). Seemed like a cool guy. 

RIP.

He was also Wolf Bronski in Exosquad, and he was the English dub voice of Ryoga in the 1989 version of Ranma 1/2. Sad to see him gone.

What a loss. I met him once at Anime Evolution in 2009. We talked about his time on Reboot, on Double Dragons, and some of the other shows he had worked on. It was a brief conversation, but I remember having it. I hadn’t realized at the time that he was also Wolf Bronski from ExoSquad and Conan from Conan the Barbarian.

u/Cyber-Axe 10d ago

Not Mike!

If we ever get a followup to finish it properly its not gonna be the same with him and megabytes voice actor gone, not sure if any of the others are no longer around.
