Saw this a little while ago. RIP Sir.

That's a real pity, he was great in what I remember of Fresh Prince. He had a real respectable authority about him, probably due to his voice

Wow can't believe he's gone :'( RIP Uncle Phil

Re: James Avery (65, Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince) passed away.

One of my favorite scene from television history. The emotion both Will Smith and James Avery portrayed are just incredible. It's one of the few moments where I've cried for something on a screen.

That sucks. I really liked him. He was great in Fresh Prince and of course as Shredder.

On a lighter note...

RIP James Avery.

He was famous for his role as Uncle Phil but many TMNT fans would also know him as the voice for Shredder.

Yeah, I recently watched all of the Fresh Prince seasons this past year and that particular scene definitely stuck out for me.

Sad to hear about James Avery; his Uncle Phil character was so likeable.

I honestly had no idea he was the voice of Shredder...

If I remember correctly he was also the voice of War Machine in the spider man animated series. I remember hearing his voice in a lot of cartoons but mostly remember him as uncle Phil and shredder. A real shame. RIP big guy.

Thank you for all the laughs.
You will be missed.
May you now rest in peace.

Rest in peace. You were my favorite father figure on TV.

Everyone knows him as Uncle Phil on Fresh Prince, but I remember him from all the numerous voiceover roles he did including Fist of the North Star when I first heard him.
