I had no idea this happened and frankly this really makes me sad while watching Brotherhood for the 4th time.  Normally I wouldn’t post something like this but his voice is so fucking amazing I can’t imagine King Bradley without it, his voice made that character.

Rest in peace Fuhrer.

Sad news, everyone. Ed Blaylock, the voice of King Bradley in the English dub, has passed away as of Wednesday, after a struggle with cancer. (I’m... not actually sure how old he was? ANN says 64 but other sources say 70. If anyone knows which is correct please let me know.)

Say what you will about the FMA dubs, but I know a lot of people agree that of the dub voices, Bradley’s was especially good and suited to the character. He really did a fantastic job with the role and I feel that Bradley’s voice really contributed a lot to the overall quality of the dub. It’s sad to hear that the man responsible for that fantastic work is no longer with us.

I wish his family my condolences.

Umm so if you follow me you know today I've been reblogging posts about the voice actor Ed Blaylock and his recent passing. It's very saddening to have someone die in general, but it's even more sad when someone so talented in their field passes away. Now, I grew up on FMA and for a time it was my favorite series, with my favorite sin being Wrath. I definitely think a lot of that came from Blaylock's portrayal of the character. In fact, Blaylock was a voice actor who when acting could add something to simple character and make them even more engaging. He really was just amazing in that aspect. He's shown up in a lot of works I've enjoyed like One Piece and Fairy Tail, and always was giving it 100%. I know it's morbid to talk about death and I really just wrote this because I wanted to get my feelings off my chest about his passing and why it kinda hits home. I don't really know how to end this but I want to say, Ed you were an amazing actor and I loved your works, and I hope you Rest In Peace.

“I lived my life by forever following the path that had been set for me. Thanks to the idiosyncrasies of humanity, it was at least a life worth living for, and maybe even a life worth dying for.” Rest In Peace Ed Blaylock, 1946-2017
