| 5 | An American actor with numerous voice roles under his belt, Robert Axelrod (May 29, 1949 – September 7, 2019) is best remembered by children of the 1990s as Lord Zedd, the BigBad of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', as well as Finster, the shy, easily intimidated elf-thing responsible for spawning each MonsterOfTheWeek. However, Axelrod had a very diverse career in western animation, as well as in anime, stretching as far back as 1980. He also appeared in quite a few live-action roles, was one of Creator/TimAndEric's regular cast members, and even popped up in the music video for Music/MichaelJackson's "Stranger in Moscow". |

| 7 | Axelrod passed away at the age of 70 in 2019, from publicly undisclosed causes. It's known that he was suffering complications from spinal surgery, but also had prior health issues that may have been at fault. In spite of some difficulties, he had continued to attend conventions and encourage new prospective actors and writers until 2018, when his surgery took place. Many ''Power Rangers'' and anime fan groups held their own memorial services after his passing. |
