Oh shit, if we get more scenes focusing on MX in RE:Mind, who’s going to voice him in English? Ralph Fiennes?

Geez we’re gonna have three different voice actors for old Xehanort before the 2010s are even over.

Rest in Peace Rutger Hauer! You were a pretty good Master Xehanort and I will always remember you in Batman Begins, Blade Runner, Buff the Vampire Slayer, Wanted: Dead or Alive, and Sin City.

I didn't hear about this until just now. That makes me so sad.  I was on my way to work when this news broke  

I'm late, but I'm raising my keyblade for fallen Kingdom Hearts Voice Actors we have lost

I know! It's so sad how we've lost so many during the years! Wayne Allwine, Allan Young, Leonard Nimoy, and now Rutger Hauer and Russi Taylor! May their souls rest in peace!
