I saw this one of my feeds on facebook, and thought I would pass it on here
Very sad news about a wonderful man who voiced Rygel.

Farscape Actor Jonathon Hardy has died
- Thread starter PlainSimpleJoel
- Start date
I saw that you had shared it and was shocked. How old was he. He and the puppeteers really did bring Rygel to live and enhanced the show greatly.
RIP.
RIP.
awww I always loved Rygel best.
You know, I don't usually feel old. But with all these Star Trek and other SciFi actors dying lately, I get reminded that I have only another 20 or 30 years left myself. And most of the actors I like have even less! It's frustrating

Ugh. Damn.
RIP, Jonathan...
Rhubarbodendron, fates willing I have more time (I'm 24) but I still somewhat nodded while reading your post. I'm rewatching Babylon 5, and although the series has only been off the air for fourteen years, three of its actors are dead. I watched a scene with the three of them together and scratched my head a little.
We're all mortals, but man, it can be hard to come to terms with some of the seemingly simpler aspects of that, like remembering that television icons are ultimately just fellow human beings on the other side of a camera, or in Mr. Hardy's case, voices in the wilderness of TV land.
We're all on our way out. We do what we can with the time we're given. Jonathan Hardy, Andreas Katsulas, DeForest Kelley. They all went to wherever we go having done wonders for us. Regardless of age, I can't think of a better definition of a reasonably full life than to make us smile, both in life and afterward.

Wow...what a bummer. In a way, one of my dogs (named Rygel) is named for him. He 'made' that character what he was. Which was hilarious!
RIP

Well said! Thanks for the thumb up
(I'm exactly twice your age, btw)
Oh man. That's horrible news. If you watch some of the footage on the DVDs before Hardy's voice replaces the puppeteer's it is just nowhere near the same voice quality. This man was truly talented.
Wow, this is terrible news. Rest in peace, Jonathon.

Having just fully become acquainted with the show last year by watching it all it's sad to hear he's passed.
