Mr. Cullen is a doll of a man and there isn`t an arrogant bone in his body. I was blessed to meet him at Botcon in May of 2009 and he`s so soft spoken and humble. Wonderful man.

  • Though he provided vocals for the inhuman alien Predator in the Predator films and the voice of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, he is best known for voicing the heroic Autobot leader Optimus Prime in the animated Transformers series. Though it was originally intended for his character to remain dead after being killed in the 1986 Transformers film, the death caused such a public backlash that the surprised producers brought the character back in two separate episodes of the third season (ultimately saving the world in the second appearance).
