Axelrod is best known for his work as a voice actor. It was his work as the voices of Wizardmon for Digimon and Lord Zedd and Finster from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that helped make him a cultural staple. Losing such a pivotal piece of their childhood drove fans to Twitter where they eulogized Axelrod.
“Robert enjoyed meeting his fans and inspiring them to follow their passions,” his agent said. “His beautiful and kindred soul will never be forgotten and we take comfort in knowing his memory will live on in all those he inspired, met and knew.”
