A distinguished actor, with a highly-respectable veteran status for his vast array of work across the acting stage, television and quite notably in voice-over work, Paul Lukather did it all. After his training in drama school, Paul began his career touring with the Barter Theatre as MacBeth. Across a time span of 40 years, he made use of his acting knowledge and talents with performances and/or appearances in numerous projects both in film and television. For most of the 1960s, '70s and '80s, Paul worked in television and film. It was not until the late 80s, going into the 1990s, did Paul begin lending his voice in several projects, beginning with A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (1988), and The Pirates of Dark Water (1991). These were bit parts, mainly calling for Paul to provide additional voices. His best known voice-over role was that of Vorador the vampire elder. Paul portrayed this character's voice in the video game Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (1996), the predecessor which led to the making of four more video games all classified as part of the "Legacy of Kain" series. For Paul, he went on to provide the voice of Vorador for the latter portions of the series, beginning with his return in Soul Reaver 2 (2001), followed promptly by Blood Omen 2 (2002), the sequel which was intended to link certain events between the time-traveling story lines. In 2003, Paul again returned to give one final performance in Legacy of Kain: Defiance (2003). He also provided voice work in the English translation to the Metal Gear Solid video game series, beginning with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001), and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (2002), both in which he was the voice of President James Johnson. An enthusiast of the equestrian sport, Paul founded The Brass Ring. This non-profit organization works as a foundation for the rehabilitation of the disabled and handicapped. This charitable effort was founded with the support of his wife, Elizabeth and friend Paul Hughes of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeder's Association. This established and well-respected veteran of the stage, television and film world, later-turned voice actor spent his remaining time committed to humanitarian work after giving his last performance in 2008. Six years later, Paul Lukather died on October 9, 2014. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Burt and their child.
