Star Wars voice actor Tom Kane is unable to speak after suffering a stroke two-months ago

Famed voice actor Tom Kane, known for his work in the Star Wars universe, has been left largely unable to speak after suffering a stroke in November.

The 58-year-old vocal talent’s daughter Sam took to his Facebook on Wednesday to explain why he’s been ‘MIA.’

‘About two months ago a left side stroke that gave him right sided weakness and damage to the speech center of his brain,’ she told followers. ‘This means right now he cannot efficiently communicate verbally, nor read or spell.’

 ‘He is still competent and very much himself, but can only get out a few words right now,’ she went on. 

Right now the family is working on helping him gain back those functions, with the help ‘excellent care in Kansas City for speech, occupational, and physical therapy.’

Sadly, Sam shared that Kane’s neurologist has warned he may not be able to do voiceovers again.

But his daughter says he’s keeping optimistic. 

‘My dad still remains in good spirits and his extreme stubbornness has helped him already show improvements in speech,’ she said, before telling everyone she’ll pass on any messages.
