Brad Venable, the man behind the voice of some of the most popular anime and game characters, has passed away at the age of 43. The heart-breaking news once again reminded us how unpredictable life can be.
Venable’s wife confirmed the news of his death on January 8. The cause of death has not been revealed yet.
Since the news broke, members of the voice acting industry and beyond have been paying tribute to Venable.
Venable is known for his role as Griffon in Devil May Cry 5. He has also appeared in some of the newly released games like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Demon’s Souls, Serious Sam 4, and Desperados III.
He moved on to voice anime characters, with Toriko as his first anime role.
His voice played an essential role in the English dub of much fan-favorite anime like Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Hunter x Hunter, and Dragon Ball Super.
Fans are shocked by the sudden demise of their favorite voice actor at such an early age. With a heavy heart, we pay our deepest condolences to Venable’s family and friends during this difficult time.
We hope this unforgettable incident will keep reminding us to appreciate the efforts of these voice actors a little more.
This has been a depressing week for the anime and gaming industry. World of Warcraft player Jarod Nandin passed away at the age of 40 due to complications from COVID-19, and Bob’s Burgers lead character design Dave Creek passed away after a skydiving accident.
2021 has been rough till now, and we can only pray that it won’t get any worse, and hopefully, brighter days are yet to come.
