Don Franks has passed away, on April 3rd. Francks also provided the voice for Mok Swagger in the 1983 Canadian animated film Rock and Rule and the voice of Sabretooth on X-men The Animated Series.
He was the father of Rainbow Sun Francks and Cree Summer Francks.
You may need to check his wiki page to see all the cartoons he's been in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Francks
Thanks a lot.
Admiral Ackbar's VA passed away too. Thought he was the same guy but no.

It bugs me that his normal voice sounded nothing like Lou Reed. Was it supposed to be commentary on lip-synching?
Any 80s children out there aren't going to like this news. He was in a LOT of cartoons.

Poor Cree.
Guess the Loc Nar finally got him.

No, JUST Mok. They were gonna call him Mok Swagger, but Mick Jagger took offense, and was mollified only when they went with "Mok, The Magic Man".
RIP in peace Sabertooth
dude was Dr. Claw
well, the one replacing based Frank Welker for some time

Did Francks and Cree ever play Penny/Claw at the same time in the franchise?
Geez, he was the voice of the Dulok shaman. Probably the best useless bad guy Star Wars has seen.
RIP
That's a damn shame, he was the best in Rock & Rule.
My heart really goes out to his family and friends, for what it's worth.

Was he smoking Crack?
;_; this genuinely sucks.
Rock and Rule was and still is one of my favourite animated features, the first one I can remember sparking my imagination and I watched that grubby old vhs recording until it literally was unplayable.

You know, I saw Rock and Rule when I was a little shit and it finally just hit me. Mok Swagger is an evil(er?) Mick Jagger.
>Mok was Cree Summer's father
Learn something everyday.
>>81476098
Hmmm
How can we help?

But... I thought Lou Reed voiced Mok all the way...

From 2014. Looked a little aged here, but still super sharp and humorous.

I kept thinking Mok was voiced by Iggy Pop.

Somehow an old hippie doing Tin Pan Alley doesn't work. At least put on a tux if you're gonna do this.
Now I am just sitting here with "You have a coward's luck, Wolverine" and "You can't do this to me, I ... AM ... MOK .... aaaaggghhhhh...." playing over and over in my head and suddenly: it all makes sense.
