I've just heard that Michel Modo -a French actor- passed away two weeks ago. He wasn't very famous outside France and I'm not sure anybody on LTS have already heard about him. You're probably asking yourself why I'm posting about that here?
In fact, Michel Modo spent the last 20 years of his life making voices for movies and animated cartoons: he was a voice talent in The Simpsons Show (French Version).

Today, the French Simpson's community is in mourning, because Michel Modo was behind the voice of:
- Seymour Skinner
- Montgomery Burns
- Krusty
- Clancy Wiggum
- Julius Hibbert
- Marvin Monroe
- Kent Brockman
- Joe Quimby
- Sideshow Mel (Tahiti Mel in the French version)
- Sideshow Bob (Tahiti Bob in the French version)
- Jasper
- Gil
- Kirk Van Houten
- and some others...

This event came few weeks after French version's writers announce that there will quit the show at the end of Season 19. Without all of them, I don't know if the Simpsons' French version would be the same anymore...

Rest In Peace, Michel!



PS: I hope I'm in the right section.

This is quite a loss indeed - just imagine what would happen if Hank Azaria or Harry Shearer would pass away. But since you mentioned Seymour Skinner in the title, his German voice also died some years ago, only overshadowed by the death of Elisabeth Volkmann, the German voice of Marge, Patty and Selma. Many other characters have lost their original voice as well, such as Grampa (two or maybe even three times already), Barney Gumble, Jasper, Dr. Hibbert, Professor Frink, Reverend Lovejoy, Sideshow Mel, and probably some more.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Excellent comparison for us American viewers, Andreas. The show just wouldn't feel the same without the cast I'm used to...a tragic loss. Sad

Oh, I didn't even know that he died. Rest in peace, former voice actors.

Sorry to hear about this... I didn't know of him until now, but it's a sad loss nonetheless. It's tough to replace someone who's been with a show for that long.

Look at that hand, lying there
The room is dark, she shows no fear
I'm lying still, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive

I'm still awake against my will
What will it ever take
To still this burning in me?
