Legendary Royal Shakespeare Actor and Voice Artist Tony Jay has succumbed to his battle with recovering from a micro surgery done to remove a non cancerous tumor from his lungs. He was admitted to Cedar Sinai Hospital in April 2006 and was well on his way to returning home with his wife Marta and his son Adam, when his vital signs became critical.

His works include being the narrator in World of Warcraft, The Legacy of Kain Series as the Elder God, X-Men Legends as Magneto and his role as Judge Frollo in Disney?s "Hunchback of Notre Dame", a role that has been been critically acclaimed as "probably the best Disney villain to date."

He will be laid to rest on Saturday, August 19, 2006 at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Hollywood, California.
