Jeremy Irons, Born September 19, 1948 in Isle of Wight, England, is a very serious actor, known for serious roles and having a deep and lovely accented voice. This is an actor that you would not expect to have a Disney resume entry, but alas, he certainly does! He has a few actually, most of them being within the Disney theme parks!
Let us first talk about his one movie debut, which was in 1994. Irons voiced one of the most evil villains in Disney history, Scar in The Lion King. It was his portrayal of Scar that is also used in the Hollywood Studios show, Fantasmic!
His other well-known Disney contribution was heard in Epcot from 1994 to 2007 as the narrator for Spaceship Earth. His narration is the longest used to date, being replaced after 13 years by Dame Judi Dench, who is currently used.
There are a couple more places in the parks where you used to hear Irons’ voice. He gave a voice to H.G. Wells in the Tomorrowland attraction The Timekeeper, which was open from 1994 until 2006. This attraction was also in Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland.
In Disneyland Paris, he narrated the English version of the Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic.
Jeremy Irons is an actor with an awesome voice that can be heard around the world not only in movies but in several of the parks over the year. We will have to see if Irons will be featured in any other Disney projects in his lifetime.

Counting to the Magic: 3 Days
3 Days to go....So Close, I can almost taste the Dole Whip Float!!!
Sadly, the food is one thing that I cannot share with you, my blog and twitter friends while I am on my trip. I can though send you updates and pictures to try to bring the experience to you! I also enjoy interacting during a popular twitter game called Spaceship Earth Roulette. Haunted Mansion Roulette is not as well known, but I do play this as well. The rules for SSE and HM Roulette are this: I announce when we are going on the attraction and you place your "bets" on which room our car will stop in! These two attractions are omnimovers, a type of car that is in constant motion to accommodate a steady pace and more visitors. This steady movement is occasionally interrupted when someone who needs extra assistance getting on a car is getting on the ride. Because of the frequency of this at times, this game was invented to see when you would slow down or stop in the attraction. It is a fun way to get your friends online involved in your vacation!
Splash Mountain Roulette is a more simple game: As you climb the final hill, before the large drop, you hear Brer Fox threaten Brer Rabbit with some kind of death, right before Brer Rabbit convinces him to throw him into the briar patch. There are four threats that Fox can say and you have to guess which one he will say on your ride.
Here are the choices for each game so that you can play along when I call the game on twitter! Don't follow me on twitter, give me a follow at twitter.com/lady_aurora for all my trip updates!
Spaceship Earth Roulette: Vortex (Climbing up), Cave Men, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Rome Empire, Rome Burning, Jewish Scholars (Backup system and sleeping monk), Printing Press, Renaissance, Sistine Chapel, Civil War Paper Boy, Telegraph, Telephones, Movie Theater and Radio, Moon Landing, Large Computer room, Computer Garage guy, Globe Room, Descent (backwards)
Haunted Mansion Roulette: Picture Hallway, Library, Eyes on the Wall, Noisy Hallway and Coffin, Madame Leota's Room, Ballroom, Attic, Descending out of the Attic, Graveyard, Hitchhiking Ghosts
Splash Mountain Roulette: Cook Ya, Skin Ya, Roast Ya, Hang Ya
