Yes, he was the voice of Aku in "Samurai Jack" and the "Enter at your own peril" narrator in "Dexter's Laboratory", not to mention the magician in the Conan movies. He will surely be missed. :(

If I recall correctly, he was also the voice of the guy's uncle on Avatar (heard about this on another site).

He made at least on appearance on M*A*S*H,I think it was the ep. where they had to pick up some GIs that were captured by the Chinese and he played the
Chinese officer in charge(though I could be wrong).
