Absolutely heartbreaking. Such an amazingly talented soul. Thank you for sharing your gifts with generations of people and for all the joy you’ve brought to me, my kids, and countless others. You will be deeply missed. A rose for you James 🌹 Rest in Paradise to the legendary James Carter Cathcart 💜

We’re saddens to hear James Carter Cathcart, a voice actor who starred as several popular character in the “Pokemon” franchise, died Tuesday after a battle with throat cancer. He was 71.

Cathcart voiced Professor Oak, his grandson Gary Oak, Team Rocket member James and his Pokemon sidekick Meowth for 25 years in the long-running anime.

“Rest in peace dear sweet man. I will miss you,” his “Pokemon” co-star Erica Schroeder, who voiced Nurse Joy, Wobbuffet and more characters, wrote in tribute.

“The community will miss you. The world will miss you. One of the most joyful, exuberant, kind-hearted and talented souls no longer walks with us. James Carter Cathcart you were one of a kind, a gentle, beautiful, playful genius and I was happy to call you my friend. Master of the pen, piano and microphone. Friend to many. Loving father and husband. Thank you for your gifts.”

Cathcart retired from voice acting in 2023 due to his throat cancer diagnosis, having started in the series’ first episode all the way through Season 25. He reprised his roles in more than 15 “Pokemon” films, including the classic 1998 “Pokemon: The First Movie.” In total, he appeared in more than 700 episodes of “Pokemon.”

A prolific voice actor, Cathcart also voiced Vector the Crocodile in the anime series “Sonic X,” Weevil Underwood and Lumis in “Yu Gi Oh! Duel Masters” and contributed to “One Piece,” “Aria,” “Kirby: Right Back at Ya,” “The Slayers,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “Mission Odyssey” and many more. He also did voiceover work in commercials for brands like Kit Kat candy bars, Good Humor, Coors Light and more.

James Carter Cathcart is survived by his wife Martha Jacobi, his children, and friends. They’re in our thoughts.
