Guy who voiced Vault 13 overseer is dead

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 2:49 am

Kenneth Mars, who voiced the Vault 13 overseer in the first fallout, is dead at age 75. There is an unoffical obituary here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Ausir/Vault_13_Overseer_actor_Kenneth_Mars_died

Apparently he died a few days ago, but I haven't seen posts on it here. Rest in Peace.

Well he did a pretty good job as the Overseer. To be honest I don't know what to say...

R.I.P.

He had a great voice. I still hate the Overseer for kicking me out and I always make sure that he dies a very gory death on all my play throughs. But I still think his voice is awesome.

The Inquisiton hereby names him Saint Mars of the fallout faith, and shall be remembered for an eternity...

Rest in peace Kenneth; you will be missed.

In all honesty, he was the best voice actor i've ever heard, and I loved the Overseer so much, I wish I could have stayed in the Vault more JUST to hear his voice.

All the old beards seem to go away. Tony Jay first and now Kenneth. So the time passes and collects its toll. R.I.P.

R.I.P Kenneth Mars.

To fix two of your problems in this post: Mistake 1: He died in early February. Mistake 2: There is already a post about his death.
