He was 83. Fernandez died at his home in Pomona, New York on Thursday. He appeared in Broadway play Whiteoaks when he was 11 and went on to act on children’s radio shows. However, he was perhaps best-known for providing the voice of the title character in hit U.S. 1960's animated TV series Speed Racer, an adaptation of Japanese anime series Mach Go Go Go. He also provided the voice of the title character's brother Racer X, wrote the American lyrics for the show’s theme song and directed the dubbing cast. His voice can be heard in other titles including Astro Boy, Gigantor, Marine Boy, Star Blazers: The Bolar Wars and Superbook. In 2008, he made a cameo appearance as an announcer in the live-action Speed Racer film. Fernandez is survived by his wife, Noel Smith, three children, nine grandchildren, a sister and a brother. -- If all the world's a stage and we are merely players, who the bloody hell wrote the script? -- Charles E Grant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik
