The voice actor and radio producer passed away on Sunday (April 3) at his Berkeley, California home, his manager told The Hollywood Reporter.

As Admiral Ackbar in Return of the Jedi, Bauersfeld uttered the immortal line of dialogue: "It's a trap!"

He also lent his voice to Jabba the Hutt's manservant Bib Fortuna​ in Return of the Jedi.
