'''[[UsefulNotes/KnightFever Sir]] Tony Jay''' (February 2, 1933 -- August 13, 2006) was a late British actor who played mostly villainous roles with a deep, highly distinctive voice. His natural speaking voice just ''oozed'' that of a MagnificentBastard. He died at 73 in 2006.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' - Dr. Lipschitz

* ''WesternAnimation/SkeletonWarriors'' - (Narrated the TitleSequence)

* ''WesternAnimation/SkeletonWarriors'' - Golden Skull (the narrator of the opening and closing scenes for each episode)

* TypeCasting: He was mainly cast in villainous roles, especially the EvilBrit type. This has mostly to do with his voice having a truly chilling, menacing tone while still being very clear and suitable for a more cultured BigBad.
** PlayingAgainstType: Dr. Lipschitz (the baby psychologist on ''Rugrats''), the [[BigGood OSA Director]] on ''VideoGame/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein'', and TheSmartGuy Virgil in ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax''. To a lesser extent, the scientist who Philium Benedict has "detained" as punishment for the shorting out of the weather laser in ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut''. Also, Spiderus in ''Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends'', who was more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, or at worst a CrankyNeighbor.
** This was used to set up a SubvertedTrope in ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', where he portrayed [[EgyptianMythology Anubis]]. EverybodyHatesHades, but in this case, Anubis was not a bad guy, just an honest god doing a job.
** Apparently his TypeCasting was so well known, that it was even emulated by certain voice actors (eg, Richard Waugh's performance as Albert Wesker from the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series was cited to have been based on that of Tony Jay's performance as [[Disney/TheJungleBook Shere Khan]]).
