I know he said Optimus is baised on Peter's brother who served in Nam. I'd really like to hear Peter talk more about him. I noticed in one of the credits this season they made a tribute to him, so I'm guessing he passed recently.
A dedication to Peter's late brother Larry is shown before the end credits of the Prime episode "Partners" - the TF Wiki notes that he passed away in March of last year, and was buried at Arlington National Cemetary two days before the episode's original broadcast in July. When it comes to Optimus Prime, it can probably be said that while Peter Cullen is the man in the recording booth, the late Larry Cullen is actually the voice. : )
Oh yes, He is a great man! I'm not a fan of his voice, I'm trying to get used to it, and I like it, but still Russian one is dearer. But in this interview, I see the wise, strong, incredibly gorgeous man! He is worthy of its role, fame and his extraordinary fate not only due the seductive voice, but also due a heart of gold! And... It's great!
Why do I get the feeling that only fans from America have been selected? I would welcome a small flag symbol behind the questioneers name just to make it legit.
God damn , this guy is friendly!!! And I am pretty glad that season 3 is confirmed and the better part is that he confirmed it !!!!!
Oh man, I know it sounds like a total stalker thing to do, of the few people in my family that served (in the last 70 years) none of them have been in combat. (comes from my grands being too young for WW1 and too old for WW2) I would totally make a pilgramage to lay an Optimus on Larry Cullen's grave.
