Is there an interview with John online? I would like to hear about his experiences playing He-Man and some of his other characters.

John was so reclusive I don't think he did any interviews.

Voice of our childhoods. Voice of a generation. By all accounts a gentleman, just like his most famous character.
I hope he knew how so many of us appreciated his work. Even now, 40+ years later I can hear his voice and I'm 5 years old and just for a brief moment everything is okay.
Thank you John.

Is there any archive footage of John recording dialogue for MOTU in the Filmation studio? I feel like James Eatock would know for sure...

Just like Kevin Conroy after him... Erwin's voice cannot be separated from the character on screen.

He was the voice of reason, the moral compass inside every child's head growing up in the 80s.

Rest in Peace, John... you made this world a better place for many of us.

If it exists I have yet to see it.

I'll admit this passing hit me hard. His voice work not just from He-Man is outstanding. I was watching a Filmation episode when I came across the news. He will be missed for sure. It is a bit sad he never got to record anything for any new He-Man like Alan did.

@thedoctor While it is a bit sad, he purposely chose to live like a recluse. It's not like he wasn't aware of the huge fan adoration and demand. That's entirely on him.

@durendal Yeah it was his choice which I totally respect. His voice will live on rent free in my head regardless.

John Erwin was also the only surviving cast member of the Archie cartoons series for Filmation animation he was the voice of Reginald Reggie Mantle.
