Wayne Anthony Allwine (February 7, 1947 – May 18, 2009) was an American voice actor, sound effects editor, and foley artist. He was best remembered as the third official voice of Mickey Mouse (following Walt Disney and Jimmy MacDonald) and the first official casting following the establishment of Disney Character Voices International in 1988. He later became an accomplished Dixieland jazz drummer, occasionally sitting in with Firehouse Five Plus Two alumni George Probert's Monrovia Old Style Jazz Band.
Career
In 1966, Allwine started work in the mailing room at the Disney studios, before working in the sound effects department with Jimmy MacDonald.
After working in the sound effects department for seven years, Allwine got a call from Disney for an open audition for the role of Mickey Mouse in late 1976, after a previous actor failed to show up. They married in 1991 and remained married up until his death in 2009. They were both named Disney Legends in 2008.
Death
Allwine died of complications from diabetes at the age of 62 on Monday, May 18, 2009, at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. His understudy, Bret Iwan, assumed the role of voicing Mickey Mouse. Allwine was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
