Peter Cullen Voice Legacy Remembered | Colorado Springs News

Peter Cullen, the legendary voice of Optimus Prime since the 80s and in every live-action Transformers film since 2007, has passed away at 85. Beyond his iconic role, he voiced Eeyore, Monterey Jack, and KARR — leaving a legacy of warmth, loyalty, and unforgettable characters. His family honored him with a message to “be strong enough to be gentle,” as he peacefully passed surrounded by loved ones. A trailblazer who began his career in the late 60s, including stints on Sonny & Cher and Chip ‘n Dale, he was inducted into the Transformers Hall of Fame in 2010. He leaves behind four children and three grandchildren — a monumental loss for fans and voice actors everywhere. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
