Here's Why People Think the Voice of Squidward Died Twice!

Did Rodger Bumpass, the voice actor who performs Squidward, die? No, but two other people with his same title did in a short duration of time.

It's a sordid section of running in the media, however it's nearly at all times large information each time a celeb or notable person passes away. There are even teams of obituary writers who pre-write the mini-eulogies and have them locked and loaded previous to an individual's inevitable passing so they may be able to run it once they kick the bucket. 

And whilst Rodger Bumpass, the person who voices Squidward Tentacles on SpongeBob Squarepants is not as large a reputation as Sean Connery, shops did think he died no longer as soon as, but two times sooner than, and reported as such.

So is the voice of Squidward Rodger Bumpass dead?

It's a beautiful simple mistake: there may be a couple of Rodger Bumpass on this global. While I do not know what it's love to proportion a reputation with any individual (I'm actually the handiest recognized Mustafa Gatollari), Rodger Bumpass stocks his identify with a Nova Scotia man, something he realized while travelling to a comic book convention.

The convention supervisor called the airline to peer whether or no longer Rodger was once on board for the flight after hearing the information that Bumpass (the other Bumpass) had passed on to the great beyond. 

When Rodger heard what had came about, he said to the organizer of the conference: "Did you ask the airline if I was in the cabin or the cargo hold?" 

Then, two months later, Rodger used to be flawed for lifeless over again. A information radio station had reported that the voice of Squidward from Spongebob Squarepants had kicked the bucket, however it was any other Rodger from San Diego who had perished. 

He needed to call the information station and provide an explanation for that he hadn't died, which he mentioned was a "surreal" enjoy.

"I called them and tried to explain logically that because I am talking to you, I’m not dead and they ran a retraction and then they sent me the videos of both news stories which is very surreal," he explained at the time. "No one gets that window of people saying what they will actually say when they think you are truly dead. I was very touched."

He joked that once he in fact does pass away, it will be difficult for information businesses to in reality document on his passing, as a result of, "No one will believe it. Will you look at that? Rodger Bumpass died again. Who knew he was a cat?"

The Little Rock Arkansas local used to be in fact classmates with KTHV anchor Craig O'Neill (actual name Randy Hankins), and the two grew up as aspiring comedians.

He's had roles in movies: Escape from New York in addition to TV programs like Hart to Hart, however his most recognizable role is undoubtedly as the pissed off squid artist who works at a burger joint in Spongebob Squarepants. 

Rodger has been the voice of Squidward since 1999 — when the show first premiered on Nickelodeon. 

And he's set to voice the persona in the upcoming animated sequence Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, which follows the more youthful version of the Bikini Bottom bunch at summer time camp.
