Rest in peace to Brice Armstrong, an iconic voice in anime history.
The iconic narrator for Funimation's Dragon Ball English dub, Brice Armstrong, has passed away. He died of natural causes on January 10 at the age of 84, according to a statement by his management company.
Alongside providing narration for Dragon Ball's English dub, which aired on Toonami from 2001-2003, Armstrong voiced other series characters like Captain Ginyu and Lord Slug. He also breathed life into characters from various other anime such as Cased Closed, Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho, and more.
