pallas_athenaOn Saturday 12 February, the world lost Kenneth Mars, a fantastic character actor.
You may remember him as:
Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind in the 1968 film The Producers
(a role written for Peter Sellers, but when Sellers was too crazy, Mars stepped in and owned it)
The police sergeant with the misbehaving artificial arm in Young Frankenstein
King Triton's voice in The Little Mermaid
King Triton's voice in the Kingdom Hearts games
...and many, many more. He definitely made me laugh many times during his life, and will continue to. Rest in peace, sir.
