Christopher Charles Collins (born Christopher Lawrence Latta; August 30, 1949 – June 12, 1994), also known as Chris Latta, was an American voice actor. He was the original voice of Mr. Burns and voiced him in "Homer's Odyssey". He also voiced the America's Most Armed and Dangerous Presenter in "Some Enchanted Evening". He originally recorded the dialogue for Moe in the same episode, but his lines were redubbed before broadcast by Hank Azaria. He left to return to his original comedy career, and died in 1994 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
Collins is widely regarded for other animated characters he portrayed, including Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe and Starscream in Transformers. In both of these roles he was credited as Chris Latta.

He died in Ventura, California in 1994 at the age of 44. His official cause of death is listed as a cerebral hemorrhage, although comments made by some of his friends and co-workers suggest he had personal issues which may have played a part in his untimely death.
