His works provide examples of:
- Character Outlives Actor: After he passed away in 2014, there was a problem with the Italian dub of three very popular characters, Phil Dunphy, Tyrion Lannister, and Saul Goodman, so he was replaced with other voice actors. He actually managed to voice Saul throughout the entirety of Breaking Bad, but obviously not in the prequel about him, Better Call Saul.
