We are saddened to report the news that legendary comic, Gilbert Gottfried passed away today at the age of 67.
The announcement was made on his social media on behalf of his family:
Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried was an iconic stand-up comedian and actor. He will forever be known for his unmistakable exaggerated loud, shrill nasally voice.
He will live on in the Disney community as the voice of Iago in the “Aladdin” films and TV series. His other Disney credits include a guest star appearance in an episode of Hannah Montana, an episode of Muppets Tonight, and playing Mike McNasty in Adventures in Wonderland. He also voiced Two-Bits in Bonkers, the Woodpecker in Timon & Pumbaa, Minister Clion in the Hercules TV series, himself in The Replacements, and another parrot in Beverly Hills Family Robinson.
He will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.
