While receiving one of his many Oscars, Navarre expressed his love for his character and the movies' compelling storylines. He also promised to star in the movie series for as long as he could.

Many of Navarre's fans were heartbroken by his announcement. Some of them expressed disappointment and believed "When Midnight Chimes" would lose its flavor without him.
