Peter Cullen

Peter Cullen (b. 1944) is a voice actor who was credited as supplying additional voices during the third season of Muppet Babies. He can be heard as Smoggy the Bear and one of the football bears in "Fozzie's Family Tree."

Cullen's deep voice has earned him an active living in animation, commercial announcing, and trailer voice-overs. He may be best known as the voice of Optimus Prime, and others, in the animated series Transformers, reprising the role for the 2007 live-action film. Since 1988, he has been the primary voice of Eeyore in Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise (with Gregg Berger occasionaly filling in). Other animation credits include DuckTales (Admiral Grimitz and Bankjob Beagle), Dungeons & Dragons (Venger), Rainbow Brite (Murky), and Challenge of the Go-Bots (Spoiler and others). Live-action roles include the voice of King Kong in the 1976 film version, several of the title characters in Gremlins, and K.I.T.T.'s rival K.A.R.R. in an episode of Knight Rider.
