This is not the update I originally intended, but it must be addressed. It is with great sadness I report the death of James Carter Carthcart; who has succumbed to throat cancer at age 71. The news was broken by his family on his social feeds. His illness was the key factor in his retirement, but the news nonetheless comes as a shock.
James had a long career, which included voice director, script adaptor and pianist. His best known voice acting role was Gary Oak in the Pokémon franchise; with him being the only actor to keep the role throughout the show's original 25-year run. He also took over voicing for Professor Samuel Oak, James and Meowth from Battle Frontier onward; alongside a host of supporting characters.
As a longtime fan of the man and his work, I wish the best for James' family; friends and colleagues at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
