Legendary voice actor Isaac Bardavid has passed away at the age of 91.
The iconic performer - who provided the voice of Wolverine, Dr. Eggman, Skeletor, and Freddy Kreuger - died as a result of emphysema on Tuesday, The Sun reports.
Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman - who played the role on screen for almost two decades - led tributes to Bardavid, sharing a video of the two on Instagram.
"Isaac Bardavid. What a legend. What a life and legacy. What a voice!! #Wolverine #Brazil," he captioned the clip, adding: "Rest well my friend."
In the video, Jackman and Bardavid sit with their arms around each other. "Don't be what they made you," the 53-year-old Australian actor says, followed by Bardavid who repeats the line in Portuguese.
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1931, Bardavid's career spanned decades. Alongside his work onscreen (where he is best known for his roles in Tocaia Grande, Carrer del Mar, and King David), the Brazilian actor also provided the voice-over for many iconic roles.
Among the famous characters he portrayed are Skeletor in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Commissioner Gordon in Batman: The Animated Series, Deep Throat in The X-Files, Dr. Eggman in the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons, and Freddy Kreuger in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
However, he was most famous for voicing Wolverine, who he played in both the cartoon series and all nine live-action films in which Jackman appeared as the character. He said that voicing Jackman's performance in 2017's Logan would be his final turn as the mutant superhero.
The actor was rushed to the hospital on January 26.
His grandson confirmed that the "disease was insisting on keeping the oxygenation very low, even though he was using the devices he already has at home," and Bardavid sadly passed away a few days later.
Jackman is not the only one paying tribute to the legendary performer, with many fans taking to social media to mourn his loss.
"Brazil just lost the voice of Eggman, Wolwerine, Skelleton. Isaac Bardavid, thank you so much for your charisma and put your soul into the characters you voiced. RIP," tweeted one fan.
"Today is a very sad day because we lost a great dubbing master. Isaac Bardavid passed away and left a wonderful legacy," added another.
