Actor and radio personality Jim Ward, famous for his roles in dozens of TV shows, films, and videogames, has died at the age of 66. Stephanie Miller, host of The Stephanie Miller show where Ward was once co-host, shared the news in a post on X Wednesday, Dec. 10.

One of the saddest messages I have ever received from the amazing Mrs Jim Ward: Our wonderful “voice deity” as Steph anointed Jim Ward, passed away today at 10:45AM. Can you let Steph know? Thanks, JaniceDecember 10, 2025

Ward’s career in videogames goes back to the 90s, when he voiced both Spider-Man and Venom in a Marvel game for the Sega Genesis. He went on to take numerous high-profile roles, like Hector LeMans in Grim Fandango, Captain Qwark in Ratchet & Clank, Jack Krauser in Resident Evil 4, and Aleksandr Granin in Metal Gear Solid 3. His final credit for a videogame role was as the Ranger in Quake Champions.

RPG fans might recognize Ward from his central performance as Dr. Klein in Fallout: New Vegas’ fan-favorite Old World Blues expansion, or the many roles he played in the original Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, like wannabe Morpheus blood wizard, Maximillian Strauss.

Ward also had the distinction of voicing Trask Ulgo (in addition to other characters), the first voice you hear in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which itself was one of the first RPGs with full voice acting for every conversation.

As The Hollywood Reporter notes, Ward was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in his final years. According to TMZ, Ward died due to complications from the disease.

Fans have taken to social media to share their memories of the actor. As user Veldin451 posted on X, “Ward’s role as Qwark played a big part in shaping my humor into what it is today. A character that really no one else could have done justice. Truly an immeasurable loss and a sad day. Rest in peace, Jim.”

RIP Jim Ward, you were my Krauser as a kid and I never stopped adoring your performance.
