“Hey Arnold!” writer and voice actor Steve Viksten died Monday at the age of 54.

Viksten voiced the character Oskar Kokoshka, a mooch with an ambiguous Eastern European accent, on the iconic Nickelodeon TV show. There’s no word yet as to the cause of his death.

In addition to his memorable performance as Oskar, Viksten shined as a writer. According to The A.V. Club, Viksten wrote the “Hey Arnold!” movie, as well as some fan-favorite episodes including “Arnold’s Hat” and “Stoop Kid.” His writing credits also include episodes of “Rugrats,” “Recess,” “Duckman” and “The Simpsons.”

Mine is Stoop Kid.
quote:

Stoop Kid: While playing football on the street, Arnold kicks the ball and it ends up on Stoop Kid's stoop. According to Gerald, Stoop Kid is a boy who has been living on that particular stoop ever since he was born. Arnold tries to wait for him to leave so he can get his football back, but learns that he never leaves his stoop. Faced with this fact, he tries to convince Stoop Kid to overcome his habit by taking a step off the stoop.

I loved the episodes focusing on this character. In Russian, his name means "shithead", which tells you everything about the character you need to know.
