World Famous Animation Voice Actor Jim Cummings will be in Washington D.C. for Anime USA 2018
At the Marriott Wardman Park to talk about his many popular roles for all the major animation studios.
Friday October 19th through Sunday October 21st, Anime USA will be hosting world famous voice actor Jim Cummings at their annual anime and Japanese cultural convention as one of the first guests in their new western animation track. In 1984 Cummings landed his first role as Lionel the lion, in Disney Channel's Dumbo Circus. Since then, Jim has gone on to give life and voice to some of America's most beloved animal characters, even a few of the late Mel Blanc's. He was even nominated for an Emmy Award for his work as the lovable Tigger on Disney Channel's My Friends Tigger and Pooh, in which he also voices everyone's favorite bear, Winnie the Pooh.
Jim has worked extensively for the Walt Disney Studios voicing other classic characters such as Tigger, King Louie, Kaa the Snake, and more. His many other credits include Darkwing Duck, Bonkers, Don Karnage on TaleSpin, and too many others to mention here. Cummings has done scores of voices for Warner Bros. as well, including Taz the Tazmanian Devil, Steven Spielberg's Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Batman, Pinky and the Brain, Duck Dodgers, and more. Other credits include King of the Hill, Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, The Replacements, The Addams Family, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, and Transformers. He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy award for his role of Hondo in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Not Limited to the small screen, Cummings has acted in several blockbuster feature films for DreamWorks including Shrek, Hook, The Bee Movie, and more. His credits read like a top-list of animated and live-action films. Credits include Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, Babe: Pig in the City, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Princess and The Frog to name a few. He was even nominated for an Annie Award for his performance in Gnomeo and Juliet, where he played the amorous garden flamingo, Featherstone. No matter how busy Cummings' schedule may be, it all stops when Famous Fone Friends of Make a Wish Foundation call on behalf of a very ill child and distraught family in need of a phone call from their favorite cartoon character.
Jim will be at Anime USA to talk about his illustrious career, how he broke into the business, and how he honed his craft. He will also share insight into how others can follow in his footsteps. He will also sign autographs and maybe host a Q and A session or two. For more information on Mr. Cummings and to purchase a weekend pass, go to www.animeusaregistration.org
