TMNT writer-director Kevin Munroe announced on Thursday at the San Diego Comic-Con that Asian-American actor Mako was going to voice Splinter in the CG animated film. Now, by a very sad coincidence it is being reported that Mako died a day later, on Friday.

Mako was a great actor, that created many of my favorite characters in cinema and in animation. He will be missed by me greatly.

Ah, that sucks! Mako rocked. I didn't hear about Pat Morita until now, too.

Fortunately we still have James Hong.

Never heard of him. Sad when an artist goes, though

James Hong and Mako played 80% of the asian characters in Hollywood. At least when they needed someone mystic.

He had a full career.. thats for sure.

Oh crap, he's the guy that was in Tora Tora Tora! Now I recognize him. I'm never good with names, so I had to google image him up.

Sad times
