@NinnesMBC - he was my choice for the voice of darkseide when he inevitably showed up down the line in the DCEU. He had a extremely strong voice and it’s a shame he wasn’t in more things.

@TheIlluminati - Did you know who he was at the time? Did you ask him anything about his career as an actor?

As much as I hated Fan4stic, I definitely thought he was the best part of the movie.

geez. this guy was always one of those actors that goes unnoticed, even though they’re immensely talented. hopefully with his untimely passing, people will finally begin to explore his body of work and respect what he brought to his craft. RIP.
