Stuart M. Rosen has passed away today following a battle with cancer. He was eighty years old.

His cousin Donna Siegel wrote, "This is a very sad day for my family and I. My wonderful, colorful, fantastic cousin, Stu Rosen died this morning. My heart is broken and I'm sure anyone who has ever met him feels the same way. What a character he was. He is the one I wrote about a few months ago that I gave a birthday party for...but it was really a going away party because he was dying of cancer. I told you all that it was the best party I have ever given."

Rosen got his start as a production assistant at the Los Angeles-based educational station KCET before writing and staring in Dusty's Treehouse. He eventually began voice directing and occasionally acting for commercials and television. His works include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ''Eek! the Cat, Superman, The Legend of Prince Valiant, Biker Mice from Mars, Phantom 2040, Rome, MASK, Defenders of Earth, My Little Pony: The Movie, Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling, RoboCop, Defenders of the Earth, Kissyfur, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and Little Dracula''. He worked as a voice director on "Pryde of the X-Men", was the second voice of Crimson Dynamo on Iron Man, and worked as a casting director on The Incredible Hulk.
