Frank Welker voiced our childhood

And Nibbler from Futurama, his animal and speaking voices. Basically if you have an animal making a noise, there's an extremely good chance it's FW. Man's a legend

I recently saw a video of Frank Welker and Peter Cullen and they were asked to do Optimus Prime and Megatron, but to do the one the other originally voiced. The other interesting thing about that video was that it from a convention the weekend before COVID lockdowns started.

Too many people have died recently. It startled me too. Present perfect tense: "Frank Welker has voiced our childhood." is what would have been an appropriate title.

Last I checked, his IMDB listed like 620 credits. What category is there beyond "Absolute Prolific Fucking Legend"?

Just to be seriously clear... He has two types of Megatron voices. The Gen 1 raspy version, and the deeper one that Hugo Weaving uses in the Michael Bay movies.

And I’m scared without a stable of cartoons for voice actors, the profession might die out

Why do they show Garfield though? That was Lorenzo Music unless I missed a Frank Welker Garfield.

When i was little, i had a crush on both Fred from Scooby doo and Hefty Smurf. They were my very first ones, when i was three and four years old. Only a few years ago did I find out why: Welker voiced them both! It explains so much. Ive been in love with this man’s voice for most of my life!

Small list. This guy has voiced a character in almost every mainstream cartoon series or movie made in the last 40+years. Whether it is a monsters growl or full on characters. He is in everything.
