Jerry Jewell, anyone remember him? i most remember him from fullmetal alchemist as berry the chopper...but he has also done

Taira from BECK:mongolion chop squad
Rin from Shuffle!
Zelmen Clock from Black Blood brothers
Sadachiyo from Lupin III: the secret of twilight gemini

i mean, am i the only one shocked at this....he was a pretty decent voice actor, and he just died in a car crash like, last week.

People die, nothing more to it.

Seems he's had some pretty important dubbing roles though, but since I oppose the notion of dubbing... meh.
Your compassion is overwhelming, really. I really wish my heart was as big as yours.

I don't really know who he is, but it's pretty sad he died, especially in a car crash.

Indeed I am a heartless bastard; but really, someone dies at least every second, what can you expect anyone to do? Mourn them too? I'd rather concentrate on making sure I don't die next.

You are my hero and who really cares he did not do anything important so who cares

Whoa...****. The man was a good actor. Requiescat in pace and all that.

The trouble here is similar to Heath Ledger; he was meant to be doing the voice of Kaku in One Piece. To the best of my knowledge, he only managed to record lines for Unlimited Adventure. FUNi will doubtlessly recast it, but I get the feeling One Piece is now cursed; the VA for Gan Fall died before work could be completed too.

Though I would like to see a link to back this up.

Great. Now I feel like a fool. Although I don't really get why people make their condolences. Do they honestly think they'll be able to feel their sympathy from the as-of-yet-undecided afterlife? I may sound heartless, but the relatives of the deceased aren't going to scour Pokemon forums for comfort.

Yes, because English is terrible, isn't it? What moron made that language up?

I was wondering why I heard nothing on Kyle Hebert's LJ. Him being a VA too Im sure he'd know and he'd deffinetly say something.
I belive Greg, since him and Jerry have worked with Funimation. It was just some lame rumour someone heard/made up.
Dont worry about it anymore guys, Jerry is alive and well.

The many morons that assailed the British Isles.
Indeed English is terrible — a turbid mix of Latin (from the Romans), French (from the Normans) and Germanic (from the Vikings/Saxons).

So why do you speak it? Or is this compared to the awesome Japanese language?

I speak it because I am English and know no other, but also because this is an English message board.
Japanese is similarly terrible as English, with so many loanwords and a writing system unable to display them correctly; I favour artificial international auxiliary languages such as Esperanto, for their uniformity and relative ease of comprehension.

Kay guys, I think you should simmer down a bit. :| Languages are languages, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion on it.

Seeing as Jerry isn't dead, I really don't see much reason for this thread to remain open.

My condolences for the "brilliant" individual who decided to spread such a morbid rumor. Heaven knows they need the sentiment.
