Actor Tom Kane, Voice of Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Has Died at 64

Prolific voice actor Tom Kane, best known for playing Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, has died at age 64. Kane has racked up numerous credits across Star Wars, Call of Duty, and a wide variety of other animated projects. Tom Kane's talent agency, Galactic Productions, confirmed his death this morning. "From his unforgettable performances in Star Wars to countless animated series, documentaries, and games, Tom brought wisdom, strength, humor, and heart to every role he touched," reads the agency's post. "His voice became part of our lives, our memories, and the stories we carry with us. But beyond the incredible career was an extraordinary man. Tom was a devoted husband and father who, alongside his wife, built a loving family of nine children — three biological and six welcomed through adoption and fostering. That compassion and generosity defined who he was just as much as his remarkable talent did. Though his voice may now be silent, the characters, stories, and love he gave to the world will live on forever." Although the actor made a name for himself by playing Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he also voiced a handful of other characters in the beloved sci-fi franchise. Ka
