Schmoopie 05-29-2009, 04:16 AM Wow! I saw this thread earlier but never actually read it. I was thinking the guy was going to be in his 80's or something. I never expected him to be 62. That's awful! That is cute that his wife was Minnie Mouse. Mickey just won't be the same without Wayne. Sigh..... 80sTrivia 05-29-2009, 05:43 AM So very sad to hear the news... :( LuLu Rogers 05-29-2009, 04:10 PM What's cool is that he went in to voice Mickey for the movie Totally Minnie in 1987 and there he met Russi who was voicing Minnie. They fell in love, and officially got married in 1997. :love: catlover79 05-29-2009, 04:14 PM :rip: catlover79 05-29-2009, 04:14 PM aww, rip. :( i think it's cute though that his wife did the voice of minnie.

Jessica 05-29-2009, 08:44 PM He was a good Mickey! I mostly hear the swedish voice of Mickey, but I've seen loads of the english. Well, he sounds kinda the same in all languages. Mickey Mouse is a great cartoon character!

The role of Mickey Mouse was given to Bret Iwan.

The role of Mickey Mouse was given to Bret Iwan. That's good that Iwan now provides the voice for Mickey. Is there a way I can go into Voice Acting, though? Adamantium 08-01-2010, 08:10 PM Whoa, my eyes played tricks on me. I saw "Wayne ... passed away". I also saw Lulu Rogers was the thread starter. I got a lump in my throat thinking it said "Wayne Rogers Passed Away!!!" I'm glad I just read that wrong, although I'm sorry to hear of Mr. Allwine's passing. Rest in Peace. |
