**Brian Cummings** (born March 4, 1948) is an American voice actor, known for his work in radio and television commercials, television and motion picture promos, cartoons and as the announcer on *The All-New Let's Make a Deal* from 1984 to 1985.

## Life and career

Having begun the pursuit of his chosen career at a local radio station (KSDN) in Aberdeen, South Dakota, during his senior year in high school, Brian set his sights high and has continued to "talk" a lot.

Brian was the closing announcer for *ALF* in syndication, and he, along with Mark Elliot, has also been one of the long-time voices of Buena Vista Home Entertainment (now Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's) trailers and promotions.

Cummings has performed on multiple animated series since the 1980s. Among his most famous roles are those of Dimmy on *The Snorks*, Morton Fizzback and Professor Funt on *Denver, the Last Dinosaur*, Mr. Hollywood, whose catchphrase is "Ain't that cute...BUT IT'S WRONG!!" on *2 Stupid Dogs*, Doctor Mindbender, portrayed with an *Alsatian* accent, on *G.I. Joe*, the dumb Clyde Cat on *Tom and Jerry Kids*, Doofus Drake on *DuckTales* and he can also be heard as the voice of Sokolov in the *Metal Gear Solid* video games.

He is not related to fellow voice actor Jim Cummings, despite their last names.
