Didn't see a thread for this after a few searches, so apologies if I missed it.
Very sad to hear of the passing of Mark Dodson who did the voice of the gremlins as well as Salacious B Crumb in the Star Wars Universe. Playstation Plus members may also know his voice from Neon Chrome which was a Monthly game a few years back, and Disney Afternoon absolutists will remember him as The Locomotive Kid from 'Bonkers.' He also voiced zombies in 'Day of the Dead.'
He apparently died in Indiana when he was in town for Horror Con. From the comments I've read, he met with fans on Friday night and then over the weekend had a heart attack in his sleep.
Here's the USA Today write-up: www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2024/03/03/mark-dodson-dead-star-wars-gremlins-voice-acting/72833306007/
I caught him at Minnesota Con last June and he shared a story about getting paid from Warner Bros an extra day to dub over his Gremlin noises for the film's French release. The story doesn't translate well typed, so I told it to YouTube:
