Very few actors have created so many characters that touched so many lives. We all know him as the voice of Optimus Prime, but he's also brought to life many other notable characters such as K.A.R.R., Eyore, Mario, Voltron, and so many others. This incredible recognition of his vast work in animation, movies and television is long over due for the icon of popular culture.
Cullen has been a voice actor since the '70s. He is most famously the voice of Optimus Prime in the animated and live-action Transformers, Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh and Zandar in G.I. Joe.
