Peter Fernandez was one of the earliest U.S. anime dubbing voice actors, and best known for his voices of the title character in Speed Racer, as well as Racer X. He was truly one of the pioneers of the medium.

Peter also did the voice of adult Spritle in the Nicktoon Speed Racer; The Next Generation and he played a sportscaster in the 2008 movie. Not only that, he wrote the catchy classic theme song.

Dedicated to the memory of Racer-X/Peter Fernandez.

Never really watched Speed Racer, but that sucks that he's gone. My condolences go out to his friends, family, and colleagues.

Well, seeing as how I never saw the recent film and it was $5 at Wal-Mart, I figured I'd pick it up and give it a watch in honor of the late Mr. Fernandez. I've seen a few episodes of the English dubs and like the Wii video game. Happy to say I really enjoyed the movie too!

Rest in peace.
