TMNT - Interview With Shredder - James Avery.MPG (https://youtu.be/DnVhQrNTQgY#)
That's a bummer, especially around the holidays. 68 is a bit young, but at least he lead a mostly full life.
The last thing I remember seeing him in was That 70s Show as Kelso's cop boss. 'Twas funny.
R.I.P uncle Phil
He was the driving test proctor in Licensed to Drive lol
TRON: I had no idea he was the voice of Shredder! I didn't like the cartoon, but of course I watched every episode.

I just re-watched License To Drive this summer with my wife/daughter...it actually held up a lot better than I thought it would. I am not ashamed to admit that I like the damn film.
Avery's role was great—don't spill a drop of coffee!
