Does anyone have a name for the man who did so many of the voiceover introductions on the Wonderful World of Disney and trailers for Disney movies, circa 60s - 70s? He's such an integral part of my own Disney memories, and I was curious as to who he was.

I beleive his name is Dick Wesson. The last name may not be correct, however I'm opened for correction.

I remember Mark Elliot, he has been a Disney voiceover guy for years. He does the promos, trailers and many others.
Mark began as a disc jockey for 93 KHJ in Los Angeles when it was "Boss Radio" at the time. Mark was a "Boss Jock" before he joined Disney after he took over from Gary Owens.
Prior to Gary, Dick Wesson was a great announcer for old Disney TV shows until he died in 1979. After his death, Gary Owens took as a voiceover announcer for such shows as "Disney's Wonderful World".
