Leonard Nimoy (Master Xehanort's English voice actor) has passed away

As of today, Leonard Nimoy (Master Xehanort's English voice actor) has died at age 83 from Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California.

 

For those of you who don't know, he was born on March 26, 1931 in Boston, Massachusetts. He began his career in his twenties, teaching acting classes in Hollywood and making brief TV and Film appearances. Leonard Nimoy was perhaps best known to the public and Sci-Fi fans as Spock from Star Trek.

 

Many Kingdom Hearts fans were hoping to see him reprise his role as Master Xehanort in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III, but sadly it was not meant to be. His final tweet said "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP" He will be missed. Live long and prosper.

Leonard was one of my nerd idols

 

I loved him in every role he played, especially as Spock

 

This is a really sad day....I was hoping I could meet him one day....

 

I'm sure they will find another person who sounds similar enough for nort, but what's important is to respect this awesome man and his life. Not get sad over his one video game role as master of darkness

 

 

Great job square, you took so long, the main characters got really adult sounding voices and the bad guy's VA died

Oh man... And we were talking about him in a thread for the last few days...

I was really hoping he would pull through, but damn. Now both Xehanort's have passed on. May he rest in peace.

I just heard about it. I can't believe he's gone. He was a good part of my childhood as Spock. I'll miss him.

They were the heartless and the nobody. Both have met their ends now the true nort shall be again.

 

 

In all seriousness though. Nimoy was a wonderful man, successfully filling roles of some of the most popular characters in history. Spock was one of his biggest roles and many had idolized him for Spock. May he rest in peace and best wishes are always out to the family.

I remember watching some of the Star Trek movies last summer 'cause there was nothing else on.  It was the first time I had seen Nimoy act (outside of voicing MX).  Truly a great performer.

This sucks. I'm very sorry for the loss of a great artist.

 

In terms of KH, it was expected. I don't want to sound morbid but no series ever has retained its original cast when it's going on for more than 10 years. And given that KHIII takes literally forever, it's sad to say but a missed chance. Mr. Minoy was very sick as of late and if they had skipped all those redundant projects, he could have been in an already completed KHIII.

Missed opportunity, but the loss of a great icon should be at the center of this.

I really wanted to put a video from Star Trek that involves Spock but I don't if anyone would be offended if I did.

R.I.P. Nimoy. I shall never forget the words you taught me when you voice acting as Master Xehanort; "Destiny is never left to chance" :

NOOOO!!!! MR. NIMOY!!  >.<

 

He was truly a wonderful and talented man. Now he joins all the greats that we will forever miss and love.

 

I really do want to talk about what repercussions this might have on Kingdom Hearts III, but I'll wait until somebody makes a more appropriate topic for it.

 

Right now all that matters is preserving Leonard's memory.

 

Rest in Peace Mr. Nimoy. May your spirit live on and prosper.  :

RIP Leonard Nimoy. Even though I didn't know who you were until now, I'm going to miss you.
