"Mickey is Walt's," Allwine readily admits. "I get to take this wonderful American icon and keep it alive until the next Mickey comes along, and it will one day. It's holding him close enough to really love him, but not so close that when he leaves, it's gonna kill me."

"But it will," Russi Taylor adds with a loving laugh.

Wayne Allwine passed away on May 18, 2009 at the age of 62.

Wayne Allwine was Mickey Mouse's voice actor. Every time you hear Mickey speak, that's Wayne Allwine. It's sad to hear he passed away though. I wonder if he had anyone studying under him to step up as Mickey's voice.

It really saddened me to hear that. It's like losing a piece of my childhood.

Rest in peace, Wayne Allwine.
