Fun fact: Neil Kaplan (RiD Optimus) is the only American to play Optimus Prime

(In a major production, at least; there may have been Americans providing the voice for commericals, electronic sound modules and the like.)

Peter Cullen is from Montreal, Gary Chalk was born in England and grew up in Vancouver and David Kaye is from Peterborough, Ontario.

I just thought it was a neat bit of trivia.

I remember noticing this a long ways back. It's a cool bit of trivia for sure, but regardless of nationality, the folks who brought Prime to life are all very talented individuals.

Regardless of nationality I'd still like to see Mr. Kaplan at TFCon.

And Mr. Cullen too. Maybe the Canadian angle would be a good to try to entice him to come here.

Goes to show that the best Primes has to have a Canadian background.
