Gilbert Gottfried, Comedian & Voice Of Aladdin's Iago, Dead At 67
Beloved comedian Gilbert Gottfried died at the age of 67. Gottfried was renowned for his iconically shrill voice and reliance on crude humor, which he combined to great effect in his standup comedy act. The comedian is perhaps best known for playing the voice of Jafar's parrot, Iago, in Disney's 1992 animated hit, Aladdin. His voice was intrinsically tied to the role and cherished by audiences; he would go on to portray Iago in all subsequent sequels, the Aladdin TV series, Aladdin On Ice, and the first two Kingdom Hearts games. The 2019 live-action Aladdin remake was the first time Gottfried didn't voice the character, which replaced him with Alan Tudyk.
