I'm surprised it wasn't discussed here yet, but 2 1/2 weeks ago, prolific voice actor Eric Bauza has died of heart disease and high blood pressure at age 46. This really shocked me, as he was still fairly young. He's best known for assuming the roles of many classic male Looney Tunes characters during the 2010s.
Eric was simply amazing, being the 21st century Mel Blanc; even the fact that his successful voice-acting career was launched with "Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon" was an impressive feat! (His Stimpy was actually pretty good, too.)
I'm sharing this here because in the "Muppet Babies" reboot, he voiced Baby Fozzie, Baby Bunsen Honeydew, and Uncle Statler.
This is without a doubt the worst media death of 2026 to me, This was already a fairly rough year for me anyways (mostly bad luck, but the news of the Skydance merger was also a major contributor), but this is just beyond the pale!
