So sad Jason Raize (the original adult Simba)is not here to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Lion King. Rest In Peace.

Sadly he hanged himself while he wa in my country (Australia)

@@59771006 I guess we'll never know why he killed himself, of course there are rumors, one of them is that he was rejected by his father for being gay. Another rumor I've read is that he was sick with cancer, another rumor I've read according to Wikipedia is that he didn't know what to do next with his career. I don't know if any of those are true.

We can’t forget the late Samuel Wright who portrayed Mufasa.
