Corey Burton
Corey Gregg Weinberg, better known as Corey Burton, is an American voice actor. He is best known for various roles such as Captain Hook, Dale, Ludwig Von Drake, Yen Sid, and Zipper for The Walt Disney Company. His other roles include Shockwave and Megatron in the Transformers franchise, Brainiac in various media, Count Dooku and Cad Bane in the Star Wars franchise, V.V. Argost on The Secret Saturdays, Jaga on the 2011 reboot of ThunderCats and Dracula on Avengers Assemble.
In video games, he voices Zeus in the God of War series, Hugo Strange in Batman: Arkham City and Nitros Oxide in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled.
Burton's grandparents immigrated from Transylvania. Burton was initially hesitant to pursue voice acting due to his shy demeanor and Asperger syndrome, but credits the design and storytelling of Disney's The Haunted Mansion attraction as his inspiration to move forward. He also cited The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (which he watched during his childhood) as an inspiration. Burton started his career at age 17 under the stage name Corey Weinman, with an imitation performance of Hans Conried for a filmstrip by Disney, titled Chef Ahmalette's Health Diet. He studied radio acting with Daws Butler for four years and went on to work with nearly all of the original Hollywood radio actors in classic-style radio dramas.
Burton has done extensive voice-work for Disney, including animated features and theme park attractions at the Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, and Tokyo Disney Resort. He provided the narration for many of the behind-the-scenes programs of Disney movies on many of their VHS issues from the 1990s. He provided the voice of Captain Hook since 1977 and dubbed the voice of Deems Taylor in Fantasia for the film's 2000 and 2010 re-releases.
Burton has voiced sound-alikes and original characters for over 50 Disney Storyteller records. His roles include:
Burton, for many years, served as a protégé to voice actor Paul Frees. Following Frees' death and his son Fred's temporary takeover, Burton stepped in and imitated Frees' voice as the Ghost Host in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction. He also recited the classic line "Welcome, foolish mortals," in the opening of the 2003 film adaption and currently serves as the Ghost Host's voice in every Haunted Mansion franchise-related media, adoptions, and events. He was approached to record a new safety spiel for the intro to the original Haunted Mansion ride. He declined and the spiel was instead recorded by voice actor Joe Leahy.
He provided many other Paul Frees-like voices for Disneyland Park, including several newer pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction (like the "Pooped Pirate" and the pirate voice that guides the guests on and off the boat), Grumpy on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train attraction, and several voices in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Burton also performed Frees imitations for comedian Stan Freberg's album Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America, Volume Two, and as the voice of the announcer in the 1999 film Dudley Do-Right, and did likewise as the voices of the alien foreheads in Larry Blamire's 2008 satire Trail of the Screaming Forehead.
