Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime and Eeyore, dies at 85
Peter Cullen, the voice actor who brought the heroic Optimus Prime from “Transformers” and the melancholy Eeyore from “Winnie the Pooh” to life, has died at 85.
Cullen died Wednesday, Aug. 26, at his home in Los Angeles. His family said he died peacefully surrounded by loved ones and remembered him for his compassion, integrity, and loyalty.
Cullen first voiced Optimus Prime in the 1986 animated film “The Transformers: The Movie.” He went on to reprise the iconic character in several animated television series and seven live-action “Transformers” films released between 2007 and 2023.
His other signature role was Eeyore, whom he first voiced in the 1988 television series “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.” The series ran for four seasons, and Cullen continued portraying the gloomy donkey in more than a dozen films and television productions.
Cullen remained active in voice acting late into his career. His most recent role was as Thaedus in the Prime Video superhero series “Invincible.”
