:( Really?! Oh that even makes it more heart wrenching!

Yeah, I would hope that there is already someone within the company that is able to "carry the torch". We all knew this day would come...Its just sooner than most expected.

I hope corey burton dont get the gig. he seems to get all the parts of dead actors the last years. he is more of a anime voice than disney.

I somehow doubt that he will land the role of Mickey's voice. (And if he did, I would be surprised.)

Still, I think that Corey Burton does a great job with all of his Disney roles.

There are so few good voice actors these days and its heartbreaking to learn when one of greats passes.
Rest in Peace Wayne and love and sympathy to your family.
