Corey Burton (born Corey Gregg Weinberg) is an American voice
actor best known as the current voice of Ludwig Von Drake, Captain Hook and
many other characters for numerous Disney projects, as well as characters from
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (including Count Dooku, Cad Bane and Ziro the Hutt)
and other cartoons. He has a wide vocal range from voicing high characters,
raspy characters and baritone voices. His baritone voice is the reason he took
over Tony Jay's roles after his death in 2006.

called in to dub over Deems Taylor's narration in Fantasia. This was done as
when the restoration team was preparing Fantasia, some of Deems' narration was
missing or in too bad of condition to be publicly released. So, Corey redubbed
all of the film's dialogue to give it a consistent flow. He has also narrated
several Disney documentaries and bonus features such as The Story Behind Fun
and Fancy Free, Bambi: The Magic Behind the Masterpiece and The Jungle Book:
The Making of a Musical Masterpiece. He also provided voice work in several
attractions at Disney theme parks, most notably as the monorail tram narration
at Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resort.
