Renowned voice actor David Graham, who is best known for voicing Grandpa Pig on the beloved children’s series “Peppa Pig,” has died … a former colleague confirmed.
The X account for Gerry Anderson, the creator of “Thunderbirds” — in which Graham voiced various characters for the British science fiction series and its spinoffs — broke the sad news to fans on Friday.
The message read … “We’re incredibly sad to confirm the passing of the legendary David Graham. The voice [of] Parker, Gordon Tracy, Brains and so many more. David was always a wonderful friend to us here at Anderson Entertainment. We will miss you dearly, David. Our thoughts are with David’s friends and family.”
The update did not note a cause of death for Graham. Gerry Anderson pre-deceased Graham in 2012, when he died at the age of 83 after a battle with dementia.
As for Graham, he was notably the only original “Thunderbirds” cast member to return for the 2015 reboot, titled “Thunderbirds Are Go!”
