... as Minister Campio
Tony Jay (2 February 1933 – 13 August 2006; age 73) was the English actor who played Campio in the fifth season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Cost of Living".
Jay is noted primarily as a voiceover actor on animated television shows, films, and video games. Perhaps his most notable voice work is the evil Judge Frollo in Disney's 1996 version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Also supplying voices in this film were Star Trek: Voyager guest actor Jason Alexander and fellow TNG guest actor David Ogden Stiers. Other voiceover roles Jay has done for Disney include Monsieur D'Arque in 1991's Beauty and the Beast (which also featured the voice of David Ogden Stiers) and the ruthless Shere Khan in Jungle Book-based Tale Spin series, from 1990 through 1994. Jay would go on to voice Shere Khan in Disney's 2003 film, The Jungle Book 2, in which John Rhys-Davies also supplied his voice.
Outside of his work with Disney, Jay also supplied the voice of Dr. Lipschitz on Nickelodeon's Rugrats, as well as in two Rugrats films. He also voiced the evil virus Megabyte in the acclaimed CG animated series Reboot and Chairface Chippendale in the cult animated series The Tick.
As an actor, Jay has appeared in such films as Woody Allen's Love and Death (1975), Ivan Reitman's Twins (1988, with fellow TNG guest stars Nehemiah Persoff and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), and the science fiction comedy My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988). He is also a distinguised stage actor, having performed in plays based on the works of such writers as William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
He had recurring roles as Paracelcus on the TV series Beauty and the Beast, starring Ron Perlman and Stephen McHattie, as Dougie Milford on Twin Peaks, and as Nigel St. John on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, starring Teri Hatcher. He also made guest appearances on such series as The Golden Girls, Newhart, Murphy Brown, Eerie, Indiana, Night Court (starring John Larroquette), Picket Fences (with Ray Walston), and Providence (in an episode with Robert Pine, Heidi Swedberg, and Scott Thompson).
Jay passed away on 13 August 2006 following complications from micro-surgery to remove a non-cancerous tumor from his lungs. He was 73 years old. He had recently earned a Daytime Emmy Award nomination and an Annie Award nomination for his voiceover work on the children's series Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.
