Damn, RIP. Crying or Very sad

His performance as Bradley in both the FMA dubs were phenomenal. He was truly great at what he did.

Took the words out of my mouth, friend. I loved his work and always remembered his distinct voice.

May you rest in peace and take solace that your work will live on and bring tremendous joy to all who experience it. Crying or Very sad

I hate dubs but his work was legitimately good. Really fantastic stuff. I really hate that people die so young in the modern age. 64 is too young. RIP

A real shame. Condolences to his friends and fmaily.

It's going to be weird hearing someone else voicing Sebas in Overlord s2.

There's irony here. Sengoku's original Japanese VA died four years ago, some time after the time skip. Now the same thing happened with the English VA.

We've lost two great voices. Sad

Hey, um... prefacing your condolences with "I hate dubs but" isn't exactly necessary. Neutral


Today was supposed to be a good day. Not anymore. Not after learning about this. Like others have said, no one could've played King Bradley as well as he did. It's one of my favorite performances in, well, ANYTHING. And he was great in other roles, too, but King Bradley is the one that sticks out in my mind the most. He will surely be missed. R.I.P. Sad

His Bradley kind of reminded me of the principal from Recess. I always liked it.

RIP.

NOOOOO...! I love his work, I didn't even know he had cancer! I love him in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the 2003 version, and Baccano! My thoughts and prayers are for his friends and family!

Very sad news.
He had a great voice and his performance as Bradley was fantastic and one of my favorite things about the show's English version. He could take the character from friendly to menacing with subtle changes in delivery and his voice was a perfect fit.

Dallas, Texas-based radio station WRR 101 revealed on Thursday that voice actor and radio host Ed Blaylock (Thomas Edwin Blaylock, Jr.) passed away on Wednesday after a battle with cancer.


.....................You gotta be freakin' kidding me! First Jerry Russell, then Bob Magruder, then Cole Brown, and now Ed Blaylock! At this rate, I'm starting to worry over other elderly voice actors in Texas like Grant James, Juli Erikson, Linda Young and even R Bruce Elliott.
