Wayne Allwine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wayne Anthony Allwine (born February 7, 1947 in Los Angeles, California) is an American voice actor, a sound effects editor and foley artist for Walt Disney Studios and the current voice behind Mickey Mouse, a role he assumed from Jim MacDonald. His first appearance as Mickey was voicing the animated "lead-in's" for "The New Mickey Mouse Club" in 1977. His first theatrical release was "Mickey's Christmas Carol" in 1983 (Academy Award® Nomination for "Academy Award for Animated Short Film") and he has provided the voice for Mickey Mouse ever since. Appropriately, he is married to Russi Taylor, the voice of Minnie Mouse.
Wayne Allwine is the second cousin of Eugene Allwine, who works in the Laboratory For Atmospheric Research at Washington State University.
