As a seasoned anime enthusiast and radio veteran who spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant world of cartoons, I must say that the passing of Doc Harris leaves a profound void in my heart. His silky, distinctive voice echoes through the annals of my memories, narrating epic battles and legendary journeys in Dragon Ball Z.
Veteran voice actor Doc Harris, famously recognized by anime enthusiasts as the initial English dubber for Dragon Ball Z, passed away at the age of 76.
Last Saturday (5th October), after undergoing minor surgery the previous month, Harris, whose radio career spanned five decades, sadly passed away at Vancouver General Hospital, as reported by Broadcast Dialogue.
Originally named Gilbert Auchinleck, this voice artist became particularly renowned for his work in the iconic anime show Dragon Ball Z, which was adapted from the manga by Akira Toriyama. Over a span of seven years (from 1996 to 2003), he lent his voice to over 200 episodes of this popular series.
In various Dragon Ball movies, the actor’s smooth and unique vocal tone was also showcased. Other notable roles include My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World, Camp Candy, and the video game Captain N: The Game Master.
In an Instagram post, Ian Corlett, a longtime friend and collaborator, honored Harris by stating that “the influence he had on me and many others will live on in our memories for a long time.
Acknowledging the significant impact Harris had during the early stages of his career, Corlett emphasized that he was deeply immersed in music and singularly unique.
Tributes have been flooding in for Harris following the sad news of his passing.
As a devoted aficionado of Dragon Ball Z, I mourn the passing of the iconic Ocean Dub narrator, Doc Harris, who breathed life into our favorite series with his booming voice. On Saturday morning, October 5, he left us at Vancouver General Hospital at the age of 76. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. Rest in peace, Doc Harris.

Oh dear… We’ve sadly lost another beloved character from DragonBall Z… Everyone who watched the show is familiar with his voice, and many may have even attempted to mimic him at some point. Both Doctor and Kyle Hebert were exceptional narrators in the English versions of DBZ. Rest In Peace, Doc Harris… (This fan shared their sentiments on platform X)
Today brings sorrow not just to Dragonball enthusiasts but also to lovers of My Little Pony, as we mourn the passing of Doc Harris. For Dragonball followers, Doc was the initial storyteller for Dragonball Z. Meanwhile, My Little Pony fans will remember him as the voice behind “Grogar” in the final season of FiM. Rest In Peace, DocHarris #RIPDocHarris.
