Speed runs his last race, Peter Fernandez 1927-2010

Cartoon Brew is reporting that Peter Fernandez, the voice of Speed Racer in the original American dub of the classic cartoon, passed away yesterday. Aside from the doing the voice of Speed his was heaviliy involved in voice directing and many other aspects of the animation industry, and had a cameo in the live action Speed Racer movie.

Well, there goes another childhood icon, even if I never knew his name. Do you think Otakon might give him a mention in the opening ceremonies,
