The voice actor behind the iconic slogan for Tony the Tiger, the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes mascot, has died.

Lee Marshall was 64 when he died as a result of esophageal cancer on April 26 but his family just confirmed the death on Thursday.

Marshall began voicing the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes mascot in 1999, filling in for the original actor, Thurl Ravenscroft.
