 Most know him for playing as Uncle Phil on fresh prince but he was the voice for shredder in the original tmnt cartoon.

That's a bummer, especially around the holidays.  68 is a bit young, but at least he lead a mostly full life.

The last thing I remember seeing him in was That 70s Show as Kelso's cop boss.  'Twas funny.

TRON: I had no idea he was the voice of Shredder! I didn't like the cartoon, but of course I watched every episode.

I just re-watched License To Drive this summer with my wife/daughter...it actually held up a lot better than I thought it would. I am not ashamed to admit that I like the damn film.

Avery's role was great—don't spill a drop of coffee!

Ditto i wasn't a big fan of the 80's tmnt cartoon i prefer the mirage tmnt comic book more.

I've been watching the old tmnt on DVD just yesterday with my daughter and she loves them.  I didn't know he voiced shedder either.
