3ngag3 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 No, the VA isn't dead or anything, but with him having been diagnosed with end stage COPD and a couple blocked arteries, his time as the voice of Frieza has likely come to an end forever. In the meantime, Damian Mills has stepped in to replace him and apparently provided a few lines in the past couple of episodes of Super. Quote

OwlChemist81 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 So I guess we're gonna see a SLOOOOOW transition of Frieza from being voiced by Chris to Daman? Ok, but I really hope Chris somehow gets better! Quote

CaptainStarwind Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Wow I hope Chris is gonna be alright. Quote
MasqueradeOverture Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 He needs a double lung transplant and bypass surgery. Very little chance of his coming out of this one okay (let alone do VO work ever again). Quote
mochi Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 I kind of wonder why they didn't cast his brother Greg, who has more or less the same kind of voice Quote
PokeNirvash Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 They've already got Greg Ayres doing Frieza Lite in the Universe 6 arc, it'd be redundant to have him do Frieza Classic on top of that. Besides, Daman Mills sounds like he's doing a fine job. Quote

Besides, Daman Mills sounds like he's doing a fine job. They could put Linda Young in that role and Greg as the real Frieza. I.E. I miss Linda Young's Frieza. Quote
mochi Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 They could put Linda Young in that role and Greg as the real Frieza. I.E. I miss Linda Young's Frieza. She's Ms. Pizza now (apparently Toriyama remembers she exists but not Launch) edit: also super recetly straight up retconned Launch out of existance by replacing her with this girl in flashbacks her name is Urine Quote
MasqueradeOverture Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 also super recetly straight up retconned Launch out of existance by replacing her with this girl in flashbacks her name is Urine Super was a mistake. Quote
CaptainStarwind Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Super was a mistake. That's been fairly obvious for about two years now. Quote
PokeNirvash Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 To be honest, Elfie, this was a thing quite some time before what happened with June Foray. [rip] Quote
The1gairon Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 So wait hold on. Is he DEAD, or just in the hospital?? Quote
The1gairon Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 He is not yet dead That's what the geezer said No, he's not yet dead That man is off his head He is not yet dead So put him back in bed Keep him off the cart because he's not yet dead. Quote
mochi Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 ... Man. June Foray, and now this!! :'( Rest in Peace Granny Quote
ben0119 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 That's awful news. I hope Chris Ayres pulls through. And he was a great Frieza! Quote
The1gairon Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Looked at the credits last night. They credit both actors as Frieza. Confirmed. Quote
mochi Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Looked at the credits last night. They credit both actors as Frieza. Confirmed. also remember how amazing Trunks's sound-alike is apparently Funimation actually cares about finding good sound-alikes now Quote
mochi Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Apparently Daman Mills previously just did background voices in Pokemon so this is kind of a huge Breakthrough for him to be doing a main recurring villain edit: he also apparently did a voice in that horrible Prison anime Nanbaka and a voice in Yuri on Ice Quote

OOOOookay now it makes sense. Still great for him! Quote
ben0119 Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Super was a mistake. Don't believe most of what Mochi says. He's constantly pulling up so-called "spoilers" and gets them twisted. He was way off base with Tokyo Ghoul and tons of other stuff so it's probably the same case here. Quote
Zenigundam Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Well the original Ocean Group Vegeta was easily the best. Quote

I mean, regardless of what happens, his chances of coming back to voice acting in any capacity are slim to none, but if he does come back, i'll change the title of the topic. Quote

True but knowing he's surviving as long as he can is enough. Quote
