I forget what his name was, but he also appeared on a few occasions on "Hey Arnold!" as that old snobby rich guy.

Good job, touching tribute.

Let's see...
Mighty Max, Mighty Ducks, Recess... Among my favorite shows/characters he's voiced.
The Tick: Chairface Chippindale. Yeah, recognized his voice.
My one gripe is that he isn't rully "Chairface", it's more like "Chairhead".
Beauty and The Beast, thought that was him ever since they hyped his role as Judge Claude Frolo in Hunchback of Notre Dame.
BTW: Got a copy of both films in my library, though I haven't seen them in a long time... Part of my family's small VHS library, they're both in that Disney booklike case.

Keep up the good work X.

Hey Xerus... Just remembered. Tony Jay probably played the same character in two different series that should be added to the list... The Grim Reaper.

He voiced the Reaper in the animated series, Casper the Friendly Ghost, the one that ran on Fox Kids.
This was the episode where he was coming to trim Dr. Harvey's bushes in lue of payment for his psycho-therapy sessions. He revealed he was an opera buff. In this encarnation, he was seen as a fully corporial figure beneath the cloak, handling the scythe.

He also voiced the Reaper in Darkwing Duck, the episode where DW had his own Ben Rothlesberger-like motorcycle accident. DW then toured through heaven, heck, the living world as a ghost, and then reawakening in his bed.
This version was taller and thinner, we only saw the cloaked figure holding the scythe, along with his skeletal fingers.

Hope this helps.
