Peter Cullen "The Voice of the Original Optimus Prime" to Attend Cybercon Expo 2005
Peter Cullen, better known to children of the 80's as "The Voice of the Original Optimus Prime" from The Transformers, will be making a rare public appearance at Cybercon Expo July 29th and 30th this summer in New York City.
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 13, 2005 -- Cybercon Expo announces that Peter
Cullen, a leading voice acting talent in Hollywood today and overall legend in
voice-over character work, known for his work as Optimus Prime in the original
80s Transformers cartoon series and Eeyore the donkey in Disney's Winnie the
Pooh, will be attending the show on July 29th and 30th 2005 in New York City.
Peter Cullen has only made two other public appearances in the last
decade. He has not been on the east coast of the United States since
twenty-something Generation X-ers' interest in the original Transformers
rekindled recently. Peter Cullen's busy work schedule in Los Angeles and
naturally reserved nature keeps him from doing events of this type, making it a
rare and special occasion for fans and collectors alike.
Peter Cullen
will be signing autographs on Friday and Saturday throughout the course of the
event at designated times. Tickets for autographs can be purchased in advance
online or at the show in person. Autographs are strictly limited to 500 tickets
total for the entire weekend.
Mr. Cullen will also take part in a
one-hour question-and-answer panel on Saturday evening. Peter will field
questions from the fans and has been known to drop in and out of character,
allowing attendees to witness the classic voices they love first hand. Seating
for the Peter Cullen panel event is limited to 250 and is reserved for
Pre-Registering attendees only, which can be done at http://www.cyberconexpo.com.
Peter Cullen is currently
one of Hollywood's lead voice actors, doing work for Warner Brothers, TNT,
Cartoon Network, and countless television and movie promotions. To fans of the
80's, his deep baritone voice rings a bell as the one behind their childhood
hero, one of pop-culture's most prolific icons, Optimus Prime. At Cybercon Expo,
fans in the New York and mid-Atlantic regions will be able to meet Mr. Cullen
and obtain his autograph for the first time. Don't miss what could be your last
chance to meet this Transformers legend.
