I only just found out this second. Noted voice actor Tony Jay passed away after surgery to remove a non-cancerous tumour.

I knew him best for his roles in the "Legacy of Kain" games as the Elder God and (in "Blood Omen") Mortanius, although his distinctive voice has been heard in everything from Disney cartoons/movies ("Hunchback of Notre Dame" as Judge Frollo), cg animation (Megabyte from "Reboot") and so on.

He will be missed.

He was my favorite voice actor. I found out September 13th and made a thread on Newgrounds about it. He also did the voices of The Transcendant One from Planescape Torment and Xantam from Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, but my favorite was the Elder God.
