Hearing Optimus talk about Dragon Ball Z made my heart explode with joy.

i'm very glad that Peter Cullen was able to influence, and talk his pal, colleague Frank Welker into finally coming out to meet the fans, to start attending conventions, because Frank Welker is known for being very private, quite reclusive, met Peter Cullen at BotCon like 7 years ago, but sadly have not met Frank Welker yet, hopefully I can meet Frank Welker someday, and Peter Cullen again to get a few more things signed.

Frank Welker wasn't just private about his life, he was an introvert; meaning that he wouldn't talk to anybody, not even to his co-workers during the days of Transformers G1. He would however only talk to one person, and that was Peter Cullen. It's poetic irony that Optimus Prime and Megatron are bitter enemies yet their respective voice actors are best friends, practically brothers.

Was meant to go up to Sydney for a convention where Peter was a guest and was looking forward to catching up with him but the convention was cancelled thanks to the big bushfires happening at the time. And I had just moved into my new house and still adjusting stuff so maybe it was also a good thing. One thing getting me through the current situation and after gone through a few rough years is that I will meet both of them soon I hope.

While he will always be the definitive voice of Optimus Prime and the best Eeyore, I find it remarkable that he used to be such a prolific voice actor in the 80's and 90's.

I keep forgetting, Peter Cullen was huge in the cartoon landscape of the 80s. He was the 80s equivalent of what John DiMaggio was in the 2000s and still is, the go-to-go guy for deep, badass baritones.

@@imarock.7662 Hmm? I have a question 🤔. I myself have been making a list/book of my favorite voice actors of all time and all of it is with traditional voice actors who are pros at it. Like Frank Welker, Peter Cullen, Charlie Adler, Tress Macneille, Clancy Brown, and Rob Paulsen. Lately I've been questioning whether to put actors who are not voice actors, but have done voice acting in other movies or TV shows and have distinctive and great voices. I'm saying people like James Earl Jones, Christopher Lee, Samuel L Jackson, Christopher Plummer, and James Woods. The rule that I came up with is they need to have no more than 10 or more voice acting credits in their resume. And the names I've listed have. Do you think I should include them or not?

I wished Peter Cullen should do voicing other characters outside of optimus prime and eeyore he is great voice actor and has impressive vocal range I wished he do more than just voicing main character of transformers and recurring character of Winnie the Pooh for the longest time Peter Cullen hasn’t been done so voice over in none-transformers and none-Winnie the Pooh franchise since what I think is megas xlr where last time he voiced a character outside of optimus prime and eeyore

This man’s voice never gets old.

Was surprised to learn he voiced King Kong in the 70's movie re-make. Anyway, nobody could've voiced Optimus Prime quite like he did. He gave Optimus Prime a sort of benevolent-yet-authoritative father-figure vibe that many kids could relate to. Anyone else would've done the character a great disservice. He's an icon for those of us who came of age in the 80's.

Wow, this guy was all over 80s cartoons! Lots of great voices. Monty from Rescue Rangers was probably my favorite. That redheaded character from Scooby Doo was so weird. Kind of seemed like they were going for an Ed Grimley type.

He was a huge part of my childhood. God bless him.

He’s a fantastic and versatile voice actor, but yeah, he’ll always be Optimus Prime to me.

One of the few voice actors whose talent self-competed. Was on "Ghost Busters" & "The Real Ghostbusters". "Voltron" & "The Transformers". For crying out loud, he worked with Warner Bros' Mel Blanc (Heathcliff) AND Disney! 😯

From toonami, 80s toy commercials, iconic movie voice over, what a talented voice actor

I want footage of these actors doing their grunts and growls. That, I imagine, would be hilarious.

Yes. He did the Preadtor's voice and the Iate Kevin Peter Hall was in the costume.

Happy 80th birthday, Peter!

It's official, Brad Garrett, Peter Cullen and Greg Burger are the only surviving voice actors to play Eeyore in Winnie The Pooh, granted Bud Lucky did a very decent job, but those three good gentlemen will always be Eeyore to me.

He also done the Witchblade series's commercials in his Optimus Prime voice. He has a lot of Optimus Prime is his "other" voices.

I’m a 90s baby so I’m tripping that I never connected the Toonami commercial voice with the Transformers movie, but I THOUGHT something was familiar about the voice. This man’s talents have touched how many generations now? 😵‍💫 Truly the 🐐 Bless this dude 🥰

Happy 80th birthday Peter Cullen!

No matter what happened to Venger, ...he always kept his cool,... great character!

I thought Frank Welker voiced the gremlins.

Peter Cullen as Optimus is like Robin Williams as the Genie, or Tom Kenny as SpongeBob; no one else could be the voice of Prime but Peter.

Fun fact: He also narrated a trailer for the movie Jackie Chans First Strike.

WOW! Who knew he did so many char. voices!

Peter Cullen: The first man to ever voice video game icon Mario in any medium, even if it was in an animated spin-off and not a game, long before the iconic Charles Martinet and the upcoming movie's Chris Pratt.

When you finally realize you been listening to this guy since you were a baby..

You forgot to add that he also did the voice of Captain Flint in the beginning of Treasure Planet!

I got to meet him when he was attending a comic fest in Australia. Getting excited and not thinking twice, I asked to hear him do his voice of Monterey Jack from Rescue Rangers. Embarrassed but amused at the same time, he kindly obliged.

He said it did, which is why he was initially reluctant to voice the Predator, the director told him he didn’t have to do the big roars like he did for Kong, so he based the Predator call on a gurgling horseshoe crab he saw.

My favorite character from Peter Cullen is Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Eeyore, Mario, and the 13th 👻.

Wooooowwww takes me back 25 years... binging Cartoon Network at my grandparents house all night long 😅

I never! Heard his voice before in commercial toonami.

Most of Peter Cullen voices are so similar, I almost always hear Optimus from all of them except Eeyore, he sounds different despite still being monotone

I'm very glad that he got the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Wow never thought that weird guy at 2:36 was Peter, shows what range he has.

Nobody can replace Peter Cullen and Frank Welker voice, they are best of all times better the new generation of voice actors.

Because anime dubbing in the US are paid much less than domestic cartoons. So it's not worth it for someone of his talent. The only exceptions were Hayao Miyazaki's movies whose dubbing was funded by Pixar CEO John Lassetter, in fact Peter voiced the general in Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

Kind of a shame he doesn't do a lot of voice acting anymore. He was actually going to reprise the role of Eeyore for the 2011 Winnie the Pooh film, but scheduling conflicts with "Dark of the Moon" prevented him.
