Stated that of all the roles that he has done, his signature role, Optimus Prime, is his favorite. He was the first actor to voice Nintendo's video game mascot Mario - of Super Mario Brothers - for the Saturday Supercade series.Īttended and graduated from the National Theater School of Canada in Montreal, Quebec (1963).Īttended and graduated from Regiopolios-Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Kingston, Ontario. His older brother, Larry Cullen, was a retired Captain in the United States Marine Corps, and helped inspire the voice of Optimus Prime. The experience turned him off of voicing inhuman sounds, though he later made an exception for Predator (1987).

Occasionally provides the narration for movie trailers. So there's always a sun coming up the following day for me.Įverybody's going to approach a character differently, depending upon what they bring to it on their own intellectual level or their feelings from their heart and soul. But I love things that are a challenge, and I look forward to more work with that in the future. I enjoy dramatic narration, of course, because I'm an actor and I started as an actor. My brother was a captain in the Marine Corps and a very big hero in my life. I immerse myself right into my character whether or not I'm relating to people live as an actor on stage or whatever. And if kids feel so inclined, they can log onto NASA and the Optimus Prime Spinoff Award, which we present every year to some of the brilliant young minds that are taking up into the academics of space, science, technology, math. I'm always involved with the Aerospace Program and NASA and Goddard Space Flight Center.
I wasn't a visual presence, and I found it easier to construct a voice from the written page. The phenomenon of The Transformers (1984) itself is mind-shaking, you know?Īs a young actor, I would be invited to the CBC radio drama department to do voices for different characters, and I found that I could do quite a few of them. I kind of modeled Optimus Prime's voice out of many people I had known over the years, my family especially. I always try to make a voice to go with the characteristics - if the guy's a hothead or he's cool, whatever.
