Animated and live-action roles you're surprised were played by the same actor

[Gaius]

Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, was the vocal effects behind King Kong from the 1976 remake and the titular Predator in the first film.

Extremely. He was also a very impressively diabolical Green Goblin in Spectacular Spider-Man

Agreed. Still love those Pumpkin-Bomb sound-effects (XD)

[ChrisIII]

Cullen's frequent co-star Frank Welker is well-known for several animated appearances in Transformers, Scooby Doo and various other animation and games but he's also done some live-action work, mainly as animals, aliens and monsters.


Best known is probably Stripe, Mohawk and I think other Gremlins from those films (and also some knockoffs like Munchie as well); also aliens in INDEPENDENCE DAY, FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR etc.

He also did the screams (and maybe grunts?) of the younger Spock in STAR TREK III.

Has anyone mentioned Bob Hastings? Lt. Carpenter on McHales Navy, Superboy in The New Adventures of Superman and of course, Commissioner Gordon, BTAS!

Agreed. Still love those Pumpkin-Bomb sound-effects (XD)

Oh, yeah. I still don't know whether those were screams or deranged laughs.

He was even Malebolgia in the Spawn movie from 1997.
