      I'll say, he sounds like a more friendlier version of Brian Cummings, because sometimes hearing his voice would usually scare me when I was a kid.

    Jim Cummings predominantly does voice acting for animation. I think he has done some voice over work but he focuses on animation voice work. He was "the voice" in countless Disney cartoon shows in the 90's. A neat fact about him was that during voice recording for the "Lion King", when Jeremy Irons' (Scar) voice blew out, Mr. Cummings filled in for Irons for the recording of a song.
