Tom Kane (born April 15, 1962)[1] is an American voice actor who has worked on many Star Wars productions, including films, television, and video games. He often serves as a voice double for Ackbar, C-3PO and Yoda, previously voiced by Erik Bauersfeld, Anthony Daniels, and Frank Oz in the films. Most notably, he had multiple recurring roles in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series (2008–2020), not only voicing Yoda but also as the show's newsreel narrator and Admiral Yularen.
In late December 2020, Kane's daughter Sam disclosed that Kane had suffered a left-side stroke in November that left him with right-sided weakness and damage to the speech center of his brain. Kane has been undergoing speech, occupational, and physical therapy; however, there are concerns that he will be unable to do voice-overs again due to his injuries.[2]
