I'm tired of the people who create the cool stuff that everyone loves continuously dying, and all the most horrible people keep on living.

RIP to Tom Kane. Best know to some as Yoda or Professor Utonium. But imo Oxnard Montalvo from the Angry Beavers halloween special will always be my favorite role of his. " another moment and it would have been....later."

I can literally quote this whole video, word-for-word, I have seen it that much. For years, I didn't know that the voice of Professor Utonium was in it. Rest in peace, Tom Kane.

We lost legend today! He was such a prolific voice actor who gave it his all with many unforgettable performances. Including Mr. Herriman, Darwin, Yoda (in The Clone Wars), and of course the best of them all: Professor Utonium! R.I.P. Tom Kane. You will be missed. 😭 #TomKane

Tom Kane knew how to embody the father figure role so well. He was our Professor Utonium, he was one of our fathers who made us feel better while growing up, and we're sad to hear of Tom's passing. 1962-2026 #powerpuffgirls
