Soul Splint Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 He's up in heaven where the clouds are like pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes Uncle Phil! Noooo With little, tiny onions, swimming in a sea of cream sauce. He seemed like such a respectable, down-to-earth guy in behind-the-scenes videos. RIP, good sir. Quote
Salluz Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 He was the War Machine from the 90s Iron Man cartoon + The Shaman from Gargoyles. Dude did some awesome voices. Quote
Elex Synn Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 He was the War Machine from the 90s Iron Man cartoon + The Shaman from Gargoyles. Dude did some awesome voices. I didn't realize he did cartoon voices. Will be missed. Fresh Prince was one of my childhood shows. Quote
Antonio Pizza Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Played a Klingon too. Was also a lead contender for role of Worf. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/James_Avery Somehow I don't see him making out with Marina Sirtis or Terry Farrell, but stranger things have happened.

Brandon Strader Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I've been rewatching Fresh Prince of Bel-air because of the sad news, and remembering how awesome James Avery was. I didn't remember them replacing Vivian in season 4 because I was just a kid when I watched it first, that was pretty jarring, but from what I read on wikipedia it seemed like there was some trouble between actors and stuff. The new Viv seems really stiff and one dimensional IMO. Anyway... yeah, really sad about Uncle Phil. He was always consistently funny but kept up his character as a pretty stern father figure. Quote
