Tony Germano, an actor who had lent his voice to animated series on Netflix and Nickelodeon, has died. He was 55.
The Brazilian stage, film and voice actor — known for his roles on Nickelodeon’s Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn and Netflix’s Go, Dog, Go! — died on Wednesday, November 26, after a fatal fall from the roof of his home.
In a statement to People, a representative for Germano said: “It is with deep sorrow that we confirm the passing of actor and voice artist Tony Germano on the morning of Wednesday, November 26. Tony suffered a fall at his residence and, unfortunately, did not survive his injuries.”
The statement continued: “We kindly ask for respect and understanding during this painful time for his family, friends, and colleagues. Tony leaves behind a legacy of dedication, generosity and immense talent that touched everyone who had the privilege of working with him. His absence will be deeply felt.”
Germano had reportedly recently purchased a new home in São Paulo and was checking on repairs made to the roof when he slipped and fell.
