Yesterday the death of Pepe Mediavilla was confirmed, was a Spanish voice actor.
Mediavilla acquired a great popularity in the middle thanks to becoming the most common dubber in Madrid and Barcelona of the actor Morgan Freeman and the role of wizard Gandalf in the film trilogy of The Lord of the Rings.
Mediavilla had announced last year that was illness, "which had worsened with diabetes," forced him to be in a wheelchair. But that, did not prevent him from continuing to double, and finally at the end, giving voice to the stories of Miguel Hernández, Lorca or Allan Poe, accompanied by music. The last one, which came up six days ago, was the poem "Sitting on the dead", in which he says, with a tremulous voice, "May my voice rise to the mountains / and go down to earth and thunder / That's what my throat asks".
