Shocked this was never mentioned here, in a TLK forum, but Rafiki has died.

Robert Guillame, the voice actor behind The Lion King's resident sage shamman, Rafiki, passed away about a month ago. His cause of his death was prostate cancer, continuing the trend of TLK stars dying of the dreaded "C"; First Madge "Sarabi" Sinclair to leukaemia in 1995, then Suzanne "Zira" Pleshette to lung cancer in 2008.
