Career
Due to Daws Butler's death in 1988, he voiced Elroy Jetson in the 1990 film Jetsons: The Movie. He also did the voices of Augie Doggie and Dixie in the Hanna-Barbera series Fender Bender 500 and Yo Yogi!, both roles that Butler had originated. He continued his career in the 1990s where he provided the voices for characters in the animated television series TaleSpin and Tom & Jerry Kids.
In 1995, Zimmerman appeared in person in the 1995 movie Stripteaser with Maria Ford and Rick Dean.
Zimmerman is perhaps most well known among video game aficionados as the first (and most well-known) voice of Revolver Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. He later returned to voice the role in Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel and Metal Gear Solid 2: Digital Graphic Novel.
As of 2008, Zimmerman is now retired from voice acting.

Zimmerman was married to voice director Kris Zimmerman from approximately 1985 until 1992-1993.[2]
