Conroy has worked on numerous projects including Batman Beyond, Justice League, and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and his last contribution to the entertainment industry was in 2019’s Justice League vs. the Fatal Five. The actor’s demise broke his fans’ hearts and even Hamill’s who said his long-time partner was perfection ( via CBR)

“Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated.”

Hamill once revealed that he used to ask if Conroy was involved in the project before agreeing to it (via Wikipedia) “When they offer me roles now, I say, ‘Is Kevin doing it?’ … I don’t even have to read the script, if Kevin’s doing it I’ll do it.” Numerous notable stars paid tribute to Kevin Conroy after his passing and acknowledged his contribution to the superhero world.
