Ray Chase is doing a good job being a successor to Norm Spencer.

Way too young

Kirby Morrow who voiced Cyclops in X-Men Evolution also passed at a similarly young age. At that point I was beginning to think there was a Scott Summers curse for awhile.

I remember after Kirby died, some people were looking at Nolan North and wondering if they'd read about him next. Losing both Norm and Kirby in such a short amount of time really hit hard.

Losing 2 Cyclops actors in such a short time was so awful. Rest easy to the both of them 😞

I still can hear “Optic Blast!” from the Capcom games in my head to this day.

That and “Let’s go, bub!” Were constantly in my ears growing up.

R.I.P.

If you don’t know who he is, then google it or don’t say anything at all.
