This week on Toon’d In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the incomparable Alan Oppenheimer — a true titan of voice acting whose legendary career has spanned over six decades! From bringing life (and a little evil) to Skeletor in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe to voicing Falkor the Luckdragon and The Rockbiter in The NeverEnding Story, Alan’s voice has defined generations of imagination and adventure.
In this lively and nostalgic episode, Alan shares incredible stories from his prolific career across animation, television, and film — from the early days of Saturday morning cartoons to his unforgettable roles in pop culture classics. He and Jim reminisce about the golden era of voice acting, the craft behind creating memorable characters, and the camaraderie that shaped an entire industry.
With laughter, wisdom, and a few behind-the-scenes surprises, this conversation is a heartfelt journey through the voices that inspired millions. Alan offers insights into the art of versatility, the importance of finding truth in even the wildest characters, and what it means to stay creative after a lifetime in entertainment.
