Fallout: New Vegas' Easy Pete actor Peter Renaday has died age 89

Another legend lost

September seems to be taking away some legendary figures in popular culture and the month isn’t even over yet.

First, it was the incomparable James Earl Jones who died at age 93, now it’s the voice of so many familiar characters, Peter Renaday who passed aged 89.

Gears of War makes its return to gaming soon with a prequel to the series

While some may not instantly recognise the name Peter Renaday, I can guarantee you know his voice, or at least one of his many voices.

Renaday played a lot of iconic characters, and perhaps he is best known in gaming as being a star of Fallout: New Vegas, playing Easy Pete. He also portrayed several other characters in the game.

Beyond the Obsidian RPG, Renaday starred in Assassin’s Creed, played Adam Fenix in Gears of War, and stole the show as Duncan in Dragon Age: Origins.

Beyond video games, the actor was a mainstay in animation, playing Master Splinter in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. He also appeared in Batman: The Animated Series, Transformers, and Samurai Jack, to name just a few.

Visitors of Disney World will have heard his dulcet tones emanate from Abe Lincoln in the Hall of Presidents attraction at the Florida park.

It’s safe to say he was prolific, and he will be missed by millions of fans throughout popular culture, whether you heard his voice in Fallout, or The Aristocats.

As one Redditor puts it, “Very rarely did he have large roles. But if you were a kid from the mid-80s through the late 2010s, this man definitely was a voice that you heard in your childhood.”

Of course, Reddit came together to celebrate the actor’s work. Some said the usual “RIP” while others went a step further, lending humour to their words.

We’ll leave the closing tribute to Alphagreen_97 who said, “I heard he defended a town, all by himself and his dynamite. Mad lad, rest easy Pete.”
