Robert Kirkman's adaptation of his comic book series, Invincible, became an instant hit amongst superhero fans once it debuted on Amazon Prime Video. Given its stellar ensemble for a cast, who is Invincible's Thaedus voice actor? And why does he sound familiar?
Who is Thaedus in Prime Video's Invincible Series?
The Great Thaedus is one of the most crucial characters to exist in the Invincible series.
Not only was he the first of his race to betray and rebel against the Viltrumites and its home planet, but he later established the Coalition of Planets to defend the universe, and the galaxies from the aliens lurking about.
At one point, he had unknowingly used his own DNA eventually spreading the virus causing mass genocide amongst the Viltrumites. He coined the name of the virus as the Scourge Virus.
It is through his rebellion that he eventually found out he wasn't the only one to have betrayed his own kind, but even the titular hero himself.
To think that someone who possesses great strategic and intellectual genius when it comes to battling against his race would be voiced by someone you have long heard of since you were a kid. Here's who really voiced Thaedus.

Invincible's Thaedus: Where Have We Heard His Voice Before?
Now that we've got that out of the way, where exactly did we first hear Thaedus' voice actor? If you're an ultimate Transformers fan, chances are, you already know that Invincible's Thaedus voice actor.
Invincible's Thaedus voice actor is none other than Peter Cullen, who is prominently known for his top role as Optimus Prime in the ever-growing franchise.
Cullen also previously voiced your childhood favorite, Eeyore, in the Winnie the Pooh franchise, and Monterey Jack in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.
Despite only utilizing Zoom as the primary platform for their voice recording sessions for Invincible, the show creator Robert Kirkman had nothing but praise for getting the chance to work with his all-time hero, as he told Collider:
"With Peter Cullen, it was a blessing that we were on Zoom because I could turn my camera off and then wipe my tears because [his performance] was very moving. You know, Optimus Prime, a big part of my life. I remember watching that original Transformers movie when I was like, eight, and you know, a big deal for me."
Meanwhile, the great Thaedus holds a bigger role in the overarching story of the Invincible series, so there's a chance we'll continue to see him work off his starring role in the ongoing second season.
