Peter Laurent "Pete" Renaday was an American actor and voice actor, who did many voice-over and acting roles for Disney films, television shows, attractions, and record albums.
History[]
Renaday's most well-known voice roles in the Disney Parks are those of Henry and Max in Country Bear Jamboree.
Other attractions he has lent his voice to over the years included Walt Disney World's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (as Captain Nemo), The Hall of Presidents (as Abraham Lincoln from 1994–2008), the Disneyland version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (as the narrator), The Walt Disney Story (as the narrator), the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Adventure Thru Inner Space, and Mark Twain Riverboat.
His Disney film credits included voicing the Milkman and Le Petit Café Chef (both uncredited) in The Aristocats, as well as the American delegate in The Rescuers. He also portrayed Eddie Valiant in early screen tests for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Renaday was also famous for providing the voice of the Ghost Host on the Disneyland Records albums (Renaday was also an early choice for that role in The Haunted Mansion attraction, which eventually went to Paul Frees). Additionally, he voiced Mickey Mouse on several albums in the late 1970s and 1980s, such as Mickey Mouse Splashdance and Yankee Doodle Mickey.
Outside of Disney, Renaday was well-known for voicing Splinter in the original 1987 series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as Mandrake the Magician in Defenders of the Earth
