Jim Cummings

James Jonah Cummings (sinh ngày 3 tháng 11 năm 1952) là một diễn viên lồng tiếng và ca sĩ người Mỹ, đã từng xuất hiện trong gần 400 vai diễn khác nhau. Ông được biết đến là người lồng tiếng cho nhân vật chính trong Darkwing Duck, Dr. Robotnik trong Sonic the Hedgehog, Pete, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger và Tasmanian Devil. Ông cũng đã từng diễn nhiều vai trong các bộ phim hoạt hình của Disney và DreamWorks như Aladdin, The Lion King, Balto, Antz, The Road to El Dorado, Shrek và The Princess and the Frog. Ông cũng đã thực hiện lồng tiếng cho các trò chơi điện tử, như Icewind Dale, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Baldur's Gate, Mass Effect 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft: Legion và Splatterhouse.

Cuộc sống cá nhân 
Sinh ra tại Youngstown, Ohio, Cummings chuyển tới sống tại New Orleans, nơi ông đã thiết kế và tô vẽ Mardi Gras, làm việc ở boong tàu trên sông, và đã hát và chơi trống trong ban nhạc rock thành công ở khu vực này, là "FUSION". Ông tham dự Immaculate Conception và các trường ở St. Columba như Ursuline High School được cấp bằng tốt nghiệp tại đây năm 1970.

Sau đó ông kết hôn vào chuyển tới Anaheim, California, nơi mà ông đã quản lý một cửa hàng băng đĩa những năm đầu thập niên 1980, trước khi bắt đầu đi theo nghiệp diễn viên lồng tiếng vào cuối năm 1984. Cummings có hai người con gái với bà Stephanie Cummings, cũng như có hai đứa con lớn tuổi hơn từ một cuộc hôn nhân trước đó.

Nghề nghiệp 
Một số công việc thanh nhạc đầu tiên mà Cummings làm là ở Disney, nơi mà ông đã thay thế Hal Smith lồng tiếng Winnie-the-Pooh vào năm 1988 (Smith đã đảm nhận vai trò từ diễn viên kỳ cựu Sterling Holloway vào năm 1981). Ông bắt đầu lồng tiếng Tigger năm 1989, tiếp quản Paul Winchell (mặc dù Winchell đã lồng tiếng Tigger thêm bốn lần nữa, lần cuối vào tháng 01 năm 1999) sau khi Winchell qua đời vào năm 2005. Năm 1991, ông mạo hiểm tới Warner Bros. Animation và bắt đầu lồng tiếng cho Tasmanian Devil trong sê-ri phim hoạt hình Taz-Mania (ông còn lồng tiếng cho các nhân vật trong các chương trình khác của Warner Brothers, như Animaniacs và góp giọng năm 2006 trong Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas).

Khi diễn viên Jeremy Irons, lồng tiếng cho nhân vật Scar trong The Lion King, bộc lộ một số vấn đề về thanh nhạc trong quá trình ghi âm ca khúc "Be Prepared", Cummings đã được chọn để thay thế ông ấy trong phần còn lại của bài hát. Cummings sau đó được thuê hát song ca cho Russell Means trong Pocahontas và Christopher Lloyd trong Anastasia.
