Half the sites I am seeing are claiming this is a hoax. I Have seen "official" reports saying both as well as "official" statements from his reps.

He was also the voice of Shredder in the original TMNT cartoon series. Now the question remains... will this lead to City Fall?

I'm awarding myself a Post of the Day for that one.
