Now Peter Fernandez is dead.

First Carl Macek, then Ronnie James Dio, and now the voice of the main character of the first anime I ever got hooked on:Speed Racer! R.I.P. Peter! I'm going to miss you just as much as Carl Macek!

I was never much into Speed Racer, but I think his work there is unforgettable for anyone who saw any episodes. He had a long career beyond that, too. I never knew this fellow's name before now, so I looked up his career a little. Turns out that he worked on a lot of other shows I watched when growing up. Even a few Godzilla movies! He'll be missed.

I heard once that he also worked on Battle of the Planets (aka G-Force, and of course by it's original japanese name:Gatchaman), but fans of the show have denied he had any involvement with it. He also worked on the anime called Marine Boy, and he worked on some of Cartoon Network's original titles such as Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I wasn't familiar with his name but I was very fond of Speed Racer years ago. That was one of my fave cartoon shows and is one of my favorite theme songs. Glad to see that they have revived it all these past few years.
