Has stated that the voice of legendary American film actor John Wayne had some influence on his choice for the voice of Optimus Prime. However, he clarified in an interview for the 2007 Transformers video game that the inspiration for Prime's voice was actually based on an impression of his older brother's voice -- the authoritative tone he used while serving as an officer with the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War.

Occasionally provides the narration for movie trailers. Most notably for Batman & Robin (1997) and Spawn (1997).

Though he provided vocals for the inhuman alien Predator in the Predator films and the voice of Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh, he is best known for voicing the heroic Autobot leader Optimus Prime on The Transformers (1984) animated series. Though this was originally intended for his character to remain dead after being killed in The Transformers: The Movie (1986), the death caused such a public backlash that the surprised producers brought the character back in two separate episodes of the third season (ultimately saving the world in the second appearance).

Has been the voice of two characters involved in chicken runs (when two cars drive towards each other). The first was the evil K.A.R.R. in the television series episode Knight Rider: Trust Doesn't Rust (1982). The second was the heroic Autobot leader Optimus Prime on the animated series The Transformers (1984).

Provided the roar of the title character in King Kong (1976), injuring his throat in the process. The experience turned him off of voicing inhuman sounds, though he later made an exception for Predator (1987).

Attended and graduated from the National Theater School of Canada in Montreal, Quebec (1963).

Peter Cullen was born on July 28, 1941 in Montreal, Québec, Canada as Peter Claver Cullen.
