Aww man, this is sad, he was both a great voice and character actor.

I agree with Brian, he was great in Young Frankenstein. I also liked his character on Freakazoid!, I just can't remember his name at the moment.

Yes! Thank you!

I love the episode "Candle Jack", where Freakazoid stopped filming, to show the kids watching "behind-the-scenes" of the various characters, and refered to them by their actor's names, ala Hunterhanker as "Kenny Mars", and Cosgrove as "Eddie Asner", lol.

May you rest in peace, Mr. Ken Mars. :cry:

I loved Ken's performances as King Triton along with an octopus bouncer in one episode of The Little Mermaid. And I also liked how he voiced Beethoven in an episode of Animaniacs. As well as Tuskerninni from Darkwing Duck and half the cast of M.U.S.H. who are Major Sideburns, Cold Lips, General Upheavel, and Major Flake.
Ken performed a lot of great characters and I'll miss him.

This makes me terribly sad. I loved him in Producers and Malcolm in the Middle.
