-'''Jim Cummings''' is an American voice actor who has done a lot of work on the ''[[Scooby-Doo (franchise)|Scooby-Doo]]'' series.
-==Career==
-At Disney, Cummings not only replaced the ailing Holloway as the voices of Kaa the snake and Winnie-the-Pooh, but also took over as the voice of Tigger when Paul Winchell retired. Then, when Jeremy Irons experienced problems with his vocal cords during production of ''The Lion King'', Cummings was hired to imitate Irons's voice for the last few lines of the song "Be Prepared". Cummings duplicated the voice of Russell Means for the songs in ''Pocahontas'', and he also duplicated the voice of Christopher Lloyd for the song, "In the Dark of the Night" in ''Anastasia''. When Cummings provided a rendition of Louis Prima's voice for King Louie in ''TaleSpin'', this provoked a controversy with Prima's widow.<sup> </sup>Cummings was the only original ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' voice actor to return for the 2007 film. His first three ''TMNT'' appearances were ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', ''Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue'', and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time''. The 2007 film was Cummings's sixth computer-animated movie appearance; his first five computer-animated movie appearances included ''Antz'', ''The Nuttiest Nutcracker'', ''Shrek'', ''Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius'', and ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas''; and his latest animated movie appearances are ''Bee Movie'', ''The Princess and the Frog'' and ''BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn''.
-In the course of two decades, Cummings's career as a voice actor has taken him from bit parts to leading roles in major series at various studios, including Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, DreamWorks, and 20th Century Fox studios. His most memorable roles, however, have been at Walt Disney Studios.<sup> </sup>There, he provided voices for a variety of television series, including leading roles in ''Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears'', (taking over the character of Zummi Gummi after Paul Winchell's departure from the role), ''DuckTales'', ''Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers'', ''Darkwing Duck'', ''Goof Troop'', ''Bonkers'', ''Gargoyles'', and ''House of Mouse'', and movies such as ''Hercules'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', ''Pocahontas'' and the Disney special edition of ''Alice in Wonderland'' (as the Cheshire Cat singing "I'm Odd"). Cummings also voiced the non-speaking roles of Ed the laughing hyena in 1994's ''The Lion King'', Duncan the horse for one episode of ''The Simpsons'', and Papa Smurf and Gargamel for a TV Funhouse sketch on ''Saturday Night Live''.
-Other notable roles include "Mr. Bumpy" in the Claymation show ''Bump in the Night'', Dr. Robotnik on ''Sonic The Hedgehog'', Mayor Manx on ''SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron'', ''Psy-Crow'', ''CatDog'', Bob the Killer Goldfish on ''Earthworm Jim'', Taz Tazmanian Devil on ''Taz-Mania'', Dakota Dude on ''Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa'' and a number of other projects. In addition to Taz and Pooh, Cummings has over the years become the official voice for a number of legendary cartoon characters, including Tigger, Pete, Humphrey the Bear, Popeye, Dick Dastardly, the Slag Brothers, Big Gruesome, Private Meekly, Clyde, and others. He also did some voices on ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' such as Leatherhead the mutant alligator and some additional characters. He also did the voice of Don Karnage in Disney's ''TaleSpin''. Cummings has also provided voices for video games, television commercials, and movie trailers, and was one of the official announcers for Kids' WB!, promo announcer for ''Hercules: The Legendary Journeys'' and it's spin-off, ''Xena: Warrior Princess'', as well as the official spokesperson for the current Cheez-It commercials and some current Weather Channel commercials (most notably the Wake Up With Al ones). He returned to his role as Taz on ''Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas''.
-Cummings has done the voice of Minsc of Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn and Drizzt Do'Urden in the first Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance game. He is also prominently displayed in the credits of Kingdom Hearts as Pooh, Tigger, and Pete. Cummings provided the voices for "Bad Mr. Frosty", "Hougan", and "Sumo Santa" in Clay Fighter 63⅓. He also voices "Sarge" and the other soldiers in the Army Men games. In Ys I & II for the Turbografx -16 CD system, he is credited as voicing "Dalles", and he provided voices for minor characters in Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. He played several characters in the little-known Toonstruck.
-In addition, Cummings narrates the current Epcot fireworks show at Walt Disney World, ''IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth''. Cummings has a on-screen cameo in ''Comic Book: The Movie'' as an inebriated party-goer. Cummings has made some vocal performances using his voice at normal pitch for some younger looking characters like Witterquick from ''Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light'' and Glatorian Ackar in ''Bionicle: The Legend Reborn''.
