David Graham, known for voicing characters on television shows “Thunderbirds” and “Peppa Pig,” has died, according to reports. He was 99.

Graham’s cause of death is unknown at this time.Â
Prior to his death, Graham described how he developed the “intimidating voice of the evil Daleks.”
“I created it with Peter Hawkins, another voice actor,” he shared with The Mirror in 2015. “We adopted this staccato style then they fed it through a synthesiser to make it more sinister.”

In the first “Doctor Who” series with William Hartnell, Graham was featured in two episodes as an actor.
Meanwhile, Graham’s work in “Thunderbirds” led him to act with Laurence Olivier at the National Theatre.
 “A wonderful man,” Graham continued to share with the media outlet at the time. “I auditioned for him and he said, ‘Are you doing anything at the moment?’ As if I was the most in demand actor in the country! I don’t know if his children were fans of Thunderbirds…”
“I loved comedy, so there are lots of laughs in Parker with his villainy and roguishness,” Graham added at the time. He also provided voices for Brains and Gordon Tracy.
Graham was additionally proud of his work as Grandpa Pig in “Peppa Pig.”
