Gen1 Hound Voice Actor dies

[griffin]

Ken Sansom (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0763052/) voiced Hound in the original series of Transformers almost 30 years ago... and has just passed away at the age of 85. (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/generation-1-1/ken-sansom-voice-of-hound-in-g1-passes-at-age-85-176106/)

His greatest role though was of Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh, which he voiced right up until 3 years ago.

Just goes to show how talented this fella is, rabbit and hound sound nothing alike... yet all from the same guy. May he rest in peace. Hmmmm seems like most of the voice actors in winnie the pooh are really old, old voice actors. The VA for pooh actually had to record his voice for thousands of words since his voice is hard to replicate/replace so Disney was making sure they have a stock of his voice so pooh bear can live on when his VA dies. Irreplaceable talents...

It's mind boggling huh? - I imagine his Hologram will live on for many times to come in many peoples minds. ;)
