Also... what a name... Bauersfeld... Bauer is German for Farmer, and Feld is Field, so his last name is literally Farmer's Field. Poor guy
Anyway, sad because Ackbar is one of my favorite characters.

RIP Mr Bauersfeld.
Many of the aging voice actors came from a background in radio.
I listen to the Radio Classics channel on Sirius quite a bit while on the truck and you'd be surprised at how many of them are either still with us or have only very recently departed. As well there are some who did MANY different familiar characters. Mel Blanc was not alone when it came to having an entire menagerie of voice characters.

One of my current favorites is Clancy Brown. He was an actor in Earth II, but he also does the voice of Mr. Krabs on spongebob... which sounds so different from his normal voice it's crazy. He's also a damn giant coming in at like 6'5" or so.
