Goodbye Emmanuel Karsen

Sad news to report today: French actor Emmanuel Karsen passed away on Thursday. M. Karsen had a lengthy list of film credits but he is best known for his voice work, which included performing the French dubbing for actors Sean Penn and Norman Reedus. You can find an obituary here.

Wing Commander fans–French ones, at least–knew him for his work on Wing Commander III as the voice of "Radio" Rollins.

Karsen's work, the start of Rollins' first one-on-one with Colonel Blair outside the elevator:
