It felt like he didn't even get a chance. I have nothing else I can say, just no words left.

Just awful news. It's only been a few months since the announcement.

Thanks for your work. I really enjoyed your portrayal of Naofumi. Rest in peace.

A talented man is gone forever.

Rest in peace, Billy. Gone far too soon.

This is heartbreaking. Same age as me. Life is truly short. He was an amazing VA. He will be missed. Just seems so unfair how quickly it happened…
Thoughts to his family

I had a bad feeling upon first hearing of his cancer that he wasn't going to recover from it, but it's still gut-wrenching to know that a man so full of talent and so beloved by his peers and fans is taking from the world so early.

Rest in peace, Billy Kametz. You were a great guy.

Naofumi
Josuke
White Blood Cell...

That's how I knew Billy. He had other roles too, but those three always ranked top for me. And he was so young and two months...that hurt.

Cancer never discriminates, never cares how beloved people are, it's there to kill. And it killed Billy. I have a family member fighting brain cancer, so I understand how it is to see someone just, well...dunno how to express it. But this ain't about me, it's about him. To his friends and family, my thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolances. May he Rest in Heaven and in Peace.

I am in shock of this news.... DANG! And it was only like 1-2 months ago when he announced the diagnosis.. and now here we are and his life has perished from our world.. He was a great VA and its so sad that he almost seem to not even get a chance to fight it..

Colon cancer is scary. I remember when it was announced he was diagnosed with stage 4.
May he Rest In Peace.
Of those major roles, I haven’t seen 2, and cells at work I watched subbed, so I don’t think I’ve ever heard his acting.
I remember when the cancer episode of Cells at Work! Came out and many people were angry at how they perceived the topic was handled. I wonder what his thoughts had been when voicing White Blood cell then and did they change after learning of his cancer diagnosis?

.... [small voice] He was younger than me. That's not fair. I hope his family and friends will be okay.

I thought the same thing since I'm older than him too. It's like damn...makes you really think your life.
