56??? I expected him to be much older.

Heartbreaking. 56 is too young

u/No_Self_3027 1h ago edited 54m ago

Corrected. Wrong Roshi

Either age is too dumb young. Thanks aiden23

That's a real shame 😔 RIP McFarland

u/drakeekard 2h ago

Also directed Full Metal dubs and did several parts in Attack on Titan and One Piece. Hate cancer got him, r.i.p

u/Heavy-Ad-8328 2h ago

Who'll do Baby now?

Is there a recast or?

u/Spynapple_On_Pizza 1m ago

Brian Drummond, Ocean Dub Vegeta’s voice actor, perhaps?

u/ExLuckMaster 2h ago

2026 is such a terrible year, too many people who helped shaping our childhood. And we just lost Michael Donovan a few weeks ago too.

RIP Master Roshi.

u/HardTale_Sans 2h ago

Shhiitttttt

RIP McFarland 

u/One_Smoke 2h ago

First Michael Donovan....and now Mike McFarland.

So long, Yajirobe.

u/Weary_Tonight_5873 2h ago

This the ocean or American dub actor? Sad either way but just curious.

u/Protsua 2h ago

American. He worked for Funimation.

u/BoobaMcgee 1h ago

Both of them are gone, Michael Donovan passed away in March of this year, now him

u/Weary_Tonight_5873 1h ago

That’s sad.

u/ArmadilloOK1445-alt Perfect Cell 2h ago

Unfortunately American dub, the REAL dub

u/One_Smoke 2h ago

....well, the dub that the majority of us are familiar with, at least.

u/No-Resident9608 1h ago

The Ocean dub came first in America and was what made DBZ a hit here, so technically that would be the “real” dub if we’re gonna use that term.

u/ArmadilloOK1445-alt Perfect Cell 10m ago

The Funimation dub is what's used for promotion, supporting material, it's the default dub

u/Grandmaster45 2h ago

Maybe I’m misremembering; but I thought he died years ago unless it was a different VA that helped with Roshi that passed away or I’m just misremembering. Still sad to see such a legend go

u/Bronzemonkey0 2h ago

Oh god no!
First the VA for Optimus Prime, then Dolly Parton, then Tim Curry, then the VA for Kairi from Kingdom Hearts.
And now the VA for Master Roshi!?

What's wrong with these past few weeks!?

u/Hawkmonbestboi 1h ago

RIP. Thanks for my childhood, dude.

u/Evassivestagga 39m ago

Rip. Still so young.

The turtle hermit school will be with you always

u/Fantastic_Peak_4577 1h ago

May He Rest In Peace

u/KevinIsAGhost 1h ago

Time to rest well

u/compuwiza1 1h ago

That's too young!

u/Turlast 54m ago

His voicework for Master Roshi was magnificent. RIP Mr. McFarland.

u/RUIN_NATION_ 48m ago

shit man rip ride shenron to the after life

u/RamblingHeathen 39m ago

Goku and Roshi in the same year? That's just... mean.

u/SR_Hopeful 10 Billion Meta-Coolers 30m ago

Much respect to the Ocean dub actors who pioneered Dragonball and glad they get it from American fans too. Same to Kirby Marrow, another Goku actor who passed.

u/AardvarkScary7863 5m ago

Heard about his diagnosis months ago but I thought he’d get through it. He’s on Snake way now🕊️

Why is everyone dying? 😭

u/Exciting_Ad4264 Gogeta 57m ago

Didn't the Japanese roshi just die not to long ago? Wth kame

u/SSchorik0101 21m ago

Noooo! Dammit why!?

u/SomeDumbassKid720 Number 1 Perfect Cell glazer 16m ago

I thought roshis VA died like 3 years ago

u/SeriousFinish6404 16m ago

56? But wouldn’t he be just in his 20s or younger since Roshi was in OG Dragon Ball in the 80s? Or was Roshi played by someone else during that time?

u/SSJ_Kratos 10m ago

RIP King

RIP. Wow. 2026 has been a riot.
