Was the announcer for the Smothers Brothers show and then Sonny and Cher early on in his career. Of course he was the absolutely iconic voice for Optimus Prime (and a couple other characters in the early days of the cartoon). And was the voice for the donkey on all variations of Winnie the Pooh.

And what’s not credited on his IMDb, is how much work he did with tv stations for stuff like local market commercials and he competed with Don LaFontaine to be the voice you heard lead in all movie trailers.

Getting born with a voice like that is just a golden goose that you can make a great living with for pretty much ever. He was still doing voice work a year ago.
