KARR voice actors

Post by Akaihiryuu » Mon Mar 20, 2006 11:56 pm

In Trust Doesn't Rust, KARR is voiced by Peter Cullen (best known as Optimus Prime). However, it turns out that Paul Frees, the voice of KARR in KITT vs. KARR, was also the voice of Santa in that Frosty the Snowman cartoon that is played about 10,000 times during the Christmas season. That creates a weird mental association, heh. KITT blew up Santa! I haven't seen that cartoon in years, but even just remembering Santa's voice, it's definitely the same guy that did KARR in KITT vs. KARR. Almost scary, heh.

yeah, its strange hearing Cullen who is best known for PRIME, do a villian type role in KR. Thats why I liked Paul's Karr work better, he simply was brilliant as the voice of Karr in that ep, totally evil :twisted: .

if you want to hear most of KARR and some of KITT voice clips, check out this site.

Be carefull its a geocities site, so it may give you a page not found in the middle of browsing it, just check back in a little while, or the next day :wink: .

I thought Peter and Paul both did a good job as KARR, though each in their own way. Thanks to me remembering that Frosty the Snowman cartoon though (and verifying Paul Frees was Santa via IMDB), I'll forever associate KARR with Santa! ROFL!

Now THAT is a scary thought: KARR as Santa! :lol: I remember that old cartoon. I'll have to dig it out again if I still have it round. I think I do somewheres...
