Tony Jay (February 2, 1933 – August 13, 2006) was a British actor, voice actor, and singer. A former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, he was known for his voice work in animation, film, and video games. Jay was particularly well known for his distinctive baritone voice, which often led to him being cast in villainous roles. He was best known as the voice of Judge Claude Frollo in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Megabyte in ReBoot (1994-2001) and the Elder God (plus various other roles) in the Legacy of Kain series of video games.
Jay also made many distinguished onscreen appearances, including the role of Nigel St. John on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1995). He further made guest appearances on programs including The Golden Girls, Twin Peaks, and Night Court. His most prominent onscreen role, however, is that of Professor Werner in Twins (1988), the mentor to Arnold Schwarzenegger's protagonist Julius Benedict.
