#RIP James Avery

Here's a sad note to start off the new year.

I just found actor James Avery died this December 31, at age 68.

This prominent actor/voice actor was mostly known for all of us as Uncle Phil on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

He was also known for his amazing voice as The Shredder on the 1980s TMNT cartoon.

He will be sadly missed...

Let's close this post on a little message by fellow Fresh Prince comedian Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton):

"The world has lost a truly special man. I am very saddened to say that James Avery has passed. Even though he played my father on TV, he was a wonderful father figure to me in life. He will be deeply missed." Source
