Voice actor Jim Cummings on Comic Con, his favorite characters and more | amNewYork
"It's great, I haven't gotten down there. I understand we are going to have a pretty good crowd, you know, I get a kick out of these. I really enjoy seeing people and hearing how they have related to my different characters over the years. I always joke that I'm in my third generation of Winnie the Pooh fans because I've got people my age, my kids' age, and my grandchildren. I'm hanging in there, apparently."
"Pooh and Tigger are the classics for sure, and I really get a kick out of King Louie from The Jungle Book, and Darkwing Duck. And everyone kind of likes it and I like that everyone kind of likes it, so that works out just fine. One of my recent favorite characters would be Hondo Ohnaka from Star Wars. He's not a hundred percent a bad guy, but I wouldn't want to play cards with him."
Jim Cummings has voiced many animated characters, including Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, King Louie, Darkwing Duck, and Hondo Ohnaka.
