The BBC reports that London-born actor Sachs, who was also known for his role of Ethan in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, died this morning.
In a statement posted on Sach’s official website, staff paid tribute to the actor, “Please join us in raising a glass to Robin – goodbye, dear friend. Thank you for all the laughter and the cookies. We will miss you so very much.”
His ex-wife Casey Defranco also offered condolences, adding that Sachs was “a wonderful person, extraordinarily talented as an actor.”
Here’s a clip of Sachs in action as Mass Effect 2 bounty hunter Zaeed:

It wasn’t until just now that I made the connection with Mass Effect. He voiced one of my all time favorite characters.
He was an amazing talent.

Awesome voice, but I didn’t use Zaeed once during Mass Effect 2. The guy was just a one-dimensional douchebag.
That’s down to the writers, not the actor obviously.

Damn, 61? What happened? I know most readers here are too young to see that age as anything but ancient, but it’s really not.
RIP, Robin.

I am sad to hear this, I loved this guy’s voice. I loved him in Galaxy quest (Why in heavens name hasn’t there been a video game, animated series, etc based on it!), babylon 5 (same deal, a shame there is no games) and loved him as Zaeed in Mass effect. I was hoping that Zaeed might one day return in a new Mass effect game, wont be the same without robin.
RIP! Another former B5 actor gone beyond the rim
