A great shame. His performance in The Daleks is quite possibly one of the biggest and most iconic vocal performances ever, right up there with Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse.
This sentence should probably revised for accuracy and clarity. It makes it sound like he played a character, singular, named "Daleks," and since it lacks the "voice" qualifier, it implies it was a live-action performance (it was not). It also fails to note that his was the first vocal performance for the Daleks -- an alien species of mutant-robot-fascists (don't ask) -- that have since been voiced by many other actors in the half-century since Graham left the role. (I believe he only recorded three Dalek stories.) I would suggest something like: "Graham is perhaps best known as the original voice of the Daleks in Doctor Who, debuting their iconic voice in 1963, or more recently as the voice of Grandpa Pig in the Peppa Pig animated series." |

RIP! Out of all the people who have been in an official Eng. dub, I don't know of any other actors or actresses who died this old. Living to be almost or over 100 is not an easy feat.

I'm most familiar with David Graham through his work on Doctor Who and The Moomins which I enjoyed those characters he played a lot. RIP and my heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
