Must have had the ball yanked away one to many times.

CTE.

[equaviator]

So unfortunate. I remember the name and voice of Peter Robbins. RIP

If a kid is going to work as a performer in Hollywood, you would think that voice(s)-only acting would be among the safest and better paying jobs with very few negative consequences later on.

That is so sad to read :( I am a huge Peanuts fan.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Must be COVID-19 related. Every other death is. So says the MSM.

[I Drive Too Fast]

Voice of Charlie Brown commits suicide ping

[windcliff]

Wow that’s sad.

[xp38]

To be honest his death is pretty much the first time I’ve ever heard of this guy.

[alexander_busek]

His real life seemed to be the opposite of that Charlie Brown character, so relaxed, banal and never flustered.

"AAARRGH!"

Regards,

[ontap]

Same here...as far as I can tell he hasn’t done anything since!!!!

[CletusVanDamme]

I was shocked to learn this. He had a tough time, for sure, but he had been a featured guest at a few comicons recently. Very sad. His sister was an actress and died young.

It's got to be a tough life when your major accomplishment is being a voice for an old 60s cartoon character.

He made money signing Charlie Brown photos.

It really is 'Good grief'.

[God luvs America]

How could anyone not be a huge Peanuts fan?

[dfwgator]

How surreal would it be getting a threatening phone call from Charlie Brown?

Or from Charlie Brown's Teacher.

[deport]

who were his enemies?

************

Don’t know the WHO but the article states he had problems
with alcohol and drugs. They aren’t necessarily you friends.

[JohnBovenmyer]

>who were his enemies?

KAOS!

He played a genius kid scientist both Control and KAOS were trying to recruit in an adorable Get Smart episode, "The Mysterious Dr. T (1967)".

[Sans-Culotte]

A guy whose name nobody knows, but when he dies, the news agencies somehow know.

“Growing up in the 1960s and 1970s was a really special time for children’s cartoons, and the Christmas specials were special for kids then.”

I was born in 1963.
The cartoon specials, especially the Christmas specials, from that period are still the best:

Charlie Brown Christmas
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Santa Clause is Coming to Town
The Little Drummer Boy
Frosty The Snowman

It was the little red head girl that finally drove him to it!

[americas.best.days...]

Charlie Brown was a sad sack. So was this guy. Weird.

[logi_cal869]

Himself, apparently.
