George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was the voice of Unicron in The Transformers: The Movie. He was born in 1915 in Kenosha, Wisconsin and in 1938 he convinced a bunch of rubes that Martians were invading the Earth with his War of the Worlds radio show. He also made some movie about some guy who wants a sled.
It wasn't until 1985 that Mr. Welles finally fulfilled his true destiny by playing the planet-gobbling world Unicron, although, sadly, Mr. Welles died before the movie was released in 1986.
I spent the day playing a toy [in a movie about toys who] do horrible things to each other.Orson Welles[1]
I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed.Orson Welles[2]
The irony of [Welles] playing a planet-sized eating machine wasn't lost on anyone.Michael McConnohie[3]
Notes
- Apparently, Mr. Welles was tough to work with. He didn't take voice direction very well, and his first viewing of the script was on the day he came in to record his lines.
- Then again, Michael Bell joked that Wally Burr was so hard to work with that it contributed to Welles's death.
