Man, I don’t even know what to say. Uncle Phil was such a great character. R.I.P James Avery.
What an awful start to 2014.
Thanks for my other skate Uncle Phil :((((((((
GODDAMN IT
Crazy man RIP. Jazzy Jeff and Will were just in Dubai together for the new years too. Wonder how they received the news
Im sad. RIP
RIP James Avery…I will never forget your voice work as the 90’s Shredder on TMNT and Fang from Fist of the Northstar.

rip uncle phil
This is one of the funniest posts ive read in a while
but this is really sad to hear
Not when you don’t take care of yourself. Brothers need to start taking care of their weight, watching their diets and exercising. Look at Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby. STILL going. Avery shoulda had 5-10 more years left. Heart disease, a preventable condition, just keeps nuking our greats.
Just a week ago, a Bel-Air producer/writer was found dead in Hermosa Beach, California. Now this. :sad:
R.I.P. Uncle Phil.
Ugh fucking awful news. RIP. It was a trip learning as a kid that Shredder was voiced by Uncle Phil.
I know “celebrity deaths in threes” isn’t real but still…fuck. Bad end to 2013.
R.I.P
Welp. We can skip to 2015 now. :sad: :sad:
Sad he died, the scene regarding Will’s father was really touching too.
Saw the entire Prince of Bel-Air series. I feel bad now… RIP Uncle Phil.
R.I.P indeed. And from what I read on CNN and other places, it was due to heart surgery complications.
complications from Type 2 diabetes, with which Avery was diagnosed in 2000, slowed his acting career. Avery suffered from kidney disease as well as problems with his left foot that required the actor to frequently use a wheelchair or walk with a cane.
Man, I didn’t know he was that bad off…got to keep yourself in shape and go to the doctors…
RIP Uncle Phil, second best TV dad
(Ugh. This is rather unfortunate, partly for reasons that Rhio2K said in that might have well been avoidable too. This even if everyone does die eventually [obviously].)
Not that I expected 2014 to be great, but it’s off to an excellent start proving it will probably be shitty. It couldn’t at least take one of Bush’s parents or Dick Cheney first? The first two of those fuckers have been in declining health for a while, even if Dick Cheney oddly seems to get healthier the older he gets like scumbag vampire he is. [/hateful] [/unnecessary politics]
Anyway, I never got to watch much of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air given I was kid during the entirety of its run, so he’s more the original cartoon Shredder to me. Regardless, R.I.P.
