In a heartbreaking turn of events, we have lost one of the most genuine and beloved actors of our time. Peter Renaday, best known for his role as Master Splinter on the hit animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has passed away at the age of 89. This news was shared by Townsend Coleman, who played Michaelangelo on the show, in a heartfelt post on social media.
Coleman described Renaday as a dear sensei and one of the most down-to-earth people he had ever known. He had the privilege of visiting with Renaday just a month ago and was struck by his continued vibrancy and talent. It's clear that Renaday made a lasting impact on those who had the pleasure of working with him.
Renaday's passing was a shock to many, as he had recently been seen as a guest at conventions and events. According to TMZ, he was found unresponsive during a welfare check at his home. While the cause of death has not been confirmed, natural causes are suspected.
In addition to his iconic role as Master Splinter, Renaday was also known for his work on other popular TV shows such as The Transformers, Superman: The Animated Series, and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. He even lent his voice to Disney theme park attractions, including The Hall of Presidents and Country Bear Jamboree.
Fans and colleagues alike have been paying tribute to Renaday since the news of his passing broke. Veronica Taylor, known for her role as Ash Ketchum on Pokémon, expressed her sadness and condolences. And Ethanos Plays, a gamer and fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, shared how Renaday's work had a lasting impact on him.
Renaday's legacy will continue to live on through his numerous roles and the memories he has left with those who knew him. He was married to his wife Flo for over 30 years, until her passing in 2011. She was also honored by Disney for her contributions to the company.
This is a developing story and we will provide updates as they become available. Our thoughts and prayers are with Renaday's family and friends during this difficult time. If you have any memories or photos of Renaday, The Agency entertainment team would love to hear from you. Rest in peace, sensei.
