<br><br><p>Some sad Warcraft news today, voice actor <a href="http://www.poetsonbroadway.com/">Tony Jay</a> has passed away following surgery complications. All of you will know his work as the voice of the narrator on the race introduction screens following the character selection screen. Tony was also chosen to play the role of Drakthor (the shaman) in the now canned Warcraft Adventures adventure title. He also worked in many films and also <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,10390/">other videogame</a> titles such as Fallout, Legacy of Kain, The Bard's Tale and many more. How nice his long and varied career will live on through the vast number of projects he has worked on.</p>

He was also the voice of Virgil in "Mighty Max".

His voice will be carried on for generations through all of his great accomplishments.

Didn't he also do the voice of Malfurion Stormrage in WC3?

It's really sad to hear that he passed away :( He had that perfect narrator's voice for a game like WoW.

It's not mentioned on his credits here (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0419645/), but then they may not be fully complete. (Or I overlooked it.)

He also lent his voice to Planescape: Torment and the Fallout series though.
