2016 has seen a lot of celebrities and icons pass away. The year kicked off with the death of David Bowie and progressed with Prince, Kenny Baker, Gene Wilder, Alan Thicke, and many others. It's been tough to swallow and yet another major presence in both gaming and film has passed away.
Father of Hellen Hunt, former Hanna-Barbera (Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones) employee, and Uncharted motion-capture director, Gordon Hunt has passed away at the age of 87. The man was also an acting coach for 40 years and coached some of the biggest celebrities such as Jimmy Fallon and Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Batman: Arkham Knight). His impact was massive and many people acknowledged this after hearing of his passing.
You can view some of the heartfelt responses from many reconginzable names from across the industry such as former Uncharted writer Amy Hennig, Nolan North, and more.
Heartbroken. Love him so much.
