James Carter Cathcart, alias Jimmy Zoppi, has passed away. He was best known for his many roles on the english dubs of Pokemon, voicing Gary Oak, when 4Kids replaced some of the original cast in 2006, he remained and voiced Professor Oak, James, and Meowth

He also voiced Miki in Revolutionary Girl Utena and Prince Phil in Slayers, as well as Vector the Crocodile in Sonic X.

He had retired from voice acting in 2023 due to throat cancer complications.

Sad.

Considering this is a TMNT forum, I might as well post his contribution to TMNT, the Lovecraftian episode:

He will be missed. He was also the voice of Sleeg, who was an alien in the Triceraton prison and Raz the Triceraton Tri-Sports Arena commentator.

And who could forget this moment.

I believe I read some time way back about there being 2 different voice actors for Vector in Sonic X, but it was just Jimmy using another name and a different voice. Rest well Jimmy Zoppi.
