JAMES AVERY – COMPLICATIONS FROM OPEN HEART SURGERY

He is considered to be one of the greatest TV dads, credits to his performance on the show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as Philip Banks. Aside from this role, however, we also have to thank James for bringing some of our favorite animated characters to life through his work as a voice actor. He has voice Haroud Hazi Bin on Aladdin and Shredder in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. Needless to say, the actor was a big part of many people’s childhoods!

Sadly, the talented and charming actor passed away in 2013 following complications after his open-heart surgery.
