Hutton also was known for his work in soap operas, appearing on both “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “General Hospital.” He played a few different characters on the former, and the role of Lenny Caulfield on the latter.
Eagle-eyed TV fans may also remember him from a string of commercials in the ’90s in which he played a KFC restaurant owner.
On the big screen, he largely found success in the voice acting world, working on films like “Shrek,” “The Princess and the Frog,” “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and numerous other animated franchises.
“A remarkable human being has left this earthly plane,” fellow voice actor Steve Apostolina wrote in a tribute posted on Facebook. To say that Rif Hutton was one of a kind is a gross understatement. There will never be another like him – perhaps his son Wolfy will come closest.”
“Rif Hutton was a man of action. He inspired so many and leaves behind a legion of loyal admirers – people who loved him. Stories of his generosity would blow your mind,” he continued.
Apostolina added, “F–k cancer in general, but in particular glioblastoma [brain cancer]. I was lucky to cross his path and I am a better person for knowing him.”
