HE IS A VOICE OVER GOD!!!!!
Starting his film debuted with "The Trouble with Girls" staring a young Elvis Presley, his career later mushroomed and his first voice over role was "Scooby Doo Where are you" when he voiced Fred and later Scooby Doo when the original voice for Scooby doo left. He voiced Melvin White in the show "Super Friends" and when the years when on, he did some voices and made animal sounds that ended up in popular films and many people didn't even know it was him making the noises all along. He was the sound effects for Cujo the dog after he was bitten and had the rabies. He was the sound effects for just about every animal you could imagine, he would do it.
He also was the most popular Transformer robot ever next to his best friend Peter Cullen who was another famous Transformer robot. He played: Buzz saw, Blades, Chromadone, Groove (just to name a few) The most popular one of all was MEGATRON!
Frank was known for voicing Megatron. Peter Cullen voiced Optimums Prime. Since the cartoon, they both have been doing the voices of Optimums and Megatron at comicons and many other places nerdy fans of the show loved to hear the voices. And they both were not fans of the Michael Bay Film.
Frank has replaced the late Lorenzo Music as Garfield. I'm going to have to say I prefer Lorenzo's voice over Franks, but let's say that new show was better than that movie where Bill Murray voiced Garfield.
Sometimes I will never know who voices who, but I'm great at detecting who is voicing who, but when it's with someone like Frank Welker or Jim Cummings, it takes a while to figure it out. But when it's an animal sound effect, I will always know it's Frank Welker. Happy 70th birthday big guy.
Enjoy some more great roles and believe me, If I hear the sound of Fred from Scooby Doo, I will never know if you are just using your actual voice, or just portraying a character.
Till then, enjoy the voice acting while you can and Happy Birthday.
Ciao For now Bloggers!
