The voice that brought us the adventures of Goku and the Z Warriors for so long has died. Dragon Ball Z narrator Doc Harris has died at the age of 76, Broadcast Dialogue has confirmed. According to the outlet, “Harris passed away Saturday morning at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH) following what was reported to be minor surgery last month.”

A life of radio, anime and video games

Harris was born Gilbert Auchinleck, but adopted the name Doc Harris during his career as a disc jockey in Vancouver in the 1960s and 1970s. His radio broadcasting career spanned 5 decades, beginning in 1966 as ‘Gil Harris’ on CKDA and CFMS-FM Victoria.

Although he always had a passion for radio, he also had a prolific career as a voice actor, appearing in numerous cartoons and video games, as well as a single episode of The X-Files. His most famous work was with the Ocean dub of Dragon Ball Z, appearing not only in the anime but also in video games.
