"Actor Tony Jay, who was best remembered for being the voice of Judge Frollo in the 1996 animated Disney film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," has died. He was 73.
Jay died Aug. 13 at Kindred Hospital from complications after surgery in April to remove cancer from his lungs, said his wife, Marta MacGeraghty Jay."

Maaaaaaaan, this blows. Tony Jay had one of the greatest voices any animated character could ever have. He was your go-to voice actor for villanious roles with a deep, rumbling baritone that would enhance every single word dropped from his lips to a PHENOMENAL degree. His performance as Frollo in THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME was easily one of the greatest villains ever to be in a Disney animated film.
Even better than that.......he was Megabyte in REBOOT! And that, my friends, is truly awesome.
Tony Jay, you will be missed.

Posted: 8/21/06 at 5:29pmIsn't this a bit slow? 8 days? Besides, lay off the threads! Sooooo many threads! About soooo much weird stuff? like Clopin!
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

I believe it was just announced today.
EDIT: Okay maybe not. But I did see that nobody had posted anything about this yet. Better late than never.

I was thinking the same thing, JerseyGirl2.
Cruel, maybe you should go to the Student Board... and take linnie with you!

Just read the thread again. He was Frollo? Aw, he was good. I take it back, better late than never. And yes, it's a Hunchback Party!
HAHA SM, you're just soooo funny. And to think I used to like you...
