Tony Jay (February 2, 1933 - August 13, 2006) was an English actor. A former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, he was known for his voice work in animation, film and computer games. Jay's distinctive baritone voice often landed him villainous roles.
His trademark voice is often mistaken for that of Jay Robinson (I), whose own mischievous and "evil" sounding voice sounds remarkably similar. While Jay Robinson (I) is most recognized for his narration of "Beyond Bizarre" (1997), Jay's voice acting talent is mostly confined to Video Games and cartoons. His most recent and notable role has been that of the "Elder God" in the Legacy of Kain game series, a part he has had since the beginning of it.
He was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in England.
He was born in England and has become a naturalized citizen of the United States.
Has a son: Adam
Died of complications following surgery to remove a non-cancerous tumor from his lung.
