@AlbertWesker_GOAT Same! I thought they used sound FX for the Predator. I'm only just finding out it was the same guy who's been playing Optimus Prime since 80s
Some voice actors are forbidden from performing their characters voices to swear, as to not damage their branding. Like the voice actor for Dr. Eggman is forbidden by Sega to say the "I'd like to make an announcement" Eggman speech because it has too much swearing. They'll potentially bust their contracts if they do this.
His throat got torn up during voicing for a Transformers movie, which caused it to bleed. He then started coughing up blood. Idk what happened afterward, but he is a dedicated man.
@@Auto-Bot_Commander yup. He played Mario in the 1983 Donkey Kong series for CBS’s Saturday Supercade programming block which had a bunch of cartoons based on popular arcade games of the time. The whole thing is on RU-vid.
I think he was also uncredited as Kong and Predator (one of these actually made him cough blood) And, he was the first ever voice of Mario during the Donkey Kong segments of the Saturday Supercade series Yes, Optimus Prime is the inspiration of Optimus Primal (King Kong), an alien species known for thier hunting prowess (Predator), a depressed donkey (Eeyore) and also god damn Mario Not to mention an evil sentient car (KARR from Knight Rider)
