As it should be, Welker's reputation is astounding and alongside Creator/MelBlanc is likely the most famous voice actor in the world, he is revered as a voice acting god. Welker's ability goes beyond creating human voices and he is often cast as animals and used for animal vocals, where he has an uncanny talent at imitation. If the movie or show has any sort of budget and it has a regular animal character, he probably does the voices for it.

Welker is listed as the number one "All Time Top 100 Stars at the Box Office," not as a box office draw, but in terms of the total revenue generated by the films in which he has participated, for the sheer number of voices he has done -- over 1,200 -- ranging from his work on ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' to the present day. (In fact, besides TheMovie and the 1988-91 series ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' where Carl Stevens did the voice, he has been the only voice of Freddy since the beginning.) Go look him up on [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919798 IMDB]]. Depending on your monitor resolution and DPI settings, his resume is anywhere from 50-60 pages long. It'd be easier to list the works where he ''hasn't'' performed...

If the movie or show has any sort of budget and it has a regular animal character, he probably does the voices for it.

Welker hasn't been entirely on animated shows, either. Animal sounds or otherwise "beastly" characters in live-action work also keep him in high demand. As an interesting side note, he provided the voice of a screaming Spock in ''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'', while Leonard Nimoy took on the role of Galvatron (an altered Megatron) in ''TransformersTheMovie''. Welker also cameoed in ''Film/TheInformant'' as the father of Matt Damon's character.

Largely because of the demand of his animal voice work, Welker more often plays a side character than the Hero. His most famous high-profile work has been ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo'' as Freddy (and Scooby since Don Messick's death), ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' as Megatron and Soundwave, and more recently the voice (both speaking and non-speaking) of Nibbler in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' - He did a ''[[{{Understatement}} lot]]'' of voices on that show, including most of the first year Decepticons. In fact, the only first-year Decepticons he didn't voice were Starscream, Reflector (both Chris Latta) and Thundercracker (John Stephenson). Most remember Welker as the voice of Megatron and Soundwave. He also took over the role of Galvatron after LeonardNimoy voiced him in [[TransformersTheMovie the movie]].
** TransformersFilmSeries - Soundwave, Devastator, Grindor, Ravage, Reedman (Ravage's nanobots), Shockwave, and Barricade. He also voiced Megatron in the video games instead of the movie voice actor HugoWeaving.
