The original voice of Buster Bunny

Was the original voice of "Buster Bunny" on Tiny Toons (1990). He reportedly quit after learning that he was not going to receive a role on the upcoming series, Os Animaniacs (1993), despite having been the lead on "Tiny Toons" while other actors form the series, such as Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille, were being given roles on Os Animaniacs (1993), and was further angry when he learned that a prominent role (Wacko) was given to Jess Harnell, who was a relative newcomer to voice acting at the time while Adler himself had much more experience. Adler was replaced by John Kassir, better known as the voice of the "Crypt Keeper" on Contos da Cripta (1989).

Was one, of only two, voiceover actors from the original Transformers (1984) animated series to voice a character in the live action film version Transformers (2007). The other being Peter Cullen. Adler, who voiced the Autobot Silverbolt in the animated series (among others), went on to provide the voice of of the treacherous Decepticon Starscream for the film.

Since 2007, he has played three roles originally played by the late Chris Latta in new adaptations of the G.I. Joe and Transformers franchises - Starscream, Cobra Commander and Gung-Ho.

He has dialogue directed one Emmy Award-winning performance: Eartha Kitt in A Nova Escola do Imperador (2006).

[on working with Mel Blanc] It was exciting just to be in the same room with him. By that point Mel was using an oxygen bottle, but I think it was just a ruse by his doctor. His choice was to either stop smoking or blow us all up.

It's not about making funny voices; acting is the base. Secondly you do need a degree of flexibility, vocally, to be able to create certain characters, an ability to improvise, an ability to visualize, endless amounts of energy, and coupled all of that, I think the final ingredient is just basic mental illness and being multiply personalitied. This saves so much money in therapy, I can't tell you.

I never really was interested in animation; it found me, and it was love at first sight. I never knew that I could use all my skill in one place!
