    Default New Spaceship Earth Narrator-Any ideas?

    I don't know if this has already been posted, but does anyone have any idea who the next narrator of SE will be? ANy rumors out there? I think Charlie Gibson would be a perfect fit, and already a cast member!

    Walter Conkite and Jeremy Irons were terrific. I think James Earl Jones has one of the best voices in Hollywood.

    I heard too that it will be P. Stewart. James Earl Jones would be great too also.

    I agree.

    Another vote for James Earl Jones as SSE's next narrator.

    Kelsey Grammer would be an excellent choice, too.

    He has a GREAT voice! I would love to hear him narrate it. He already does the narration for "Deadliest Catch". I would mind seeing him as well.

    Well Jeremy Irons is still available, if they just want to re-record in higher fidelity.

    I'm avaialble....

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    Not sure where I read it, but, someone asked Jeremy Irons if he was approached to do the voice of Spaceship Earth again and he said no. I like James Earl Jones for the new voice of Spaceship Earth.
    Let's stop defending mediocrity out of Disney and hold Disney to the higher standard they set up themselves.

    Peter Cullen, voice of Optimus Prime, movie trailer voiceover guy (not the "In a world..." guy, but they know each other), voice of Eeyore!

    Yeah, James Earl Jones or Patrick Stewart would do go, but I think Cullen could do a very good job.

    But, in his absence, I'll pick Patrick Stewart.

    How about another Star Trek captain? Captain Sisko of DS9 - Avery Brooks. He has a commanding voice and I have been hearing him a lot recently on the History Channel and Discovery.

    Here is my idea:

    You could have multiple narrators. You could give each person equal time and put them in appropriate areas where their voice would make a bigger impact on the rider. For example you could use Mike Rowe, James Earl Jones and Patrick Stewart. Each person has their own distinct voice and I think it would keep riders more interested. Sometimes listening to the same voice for a prolonged period of time gets dull and boring. Mix it up a little.

    Thats not actually a bad idea and it could use the same system that they are using at the end of the ride with the touch screens. Definitely would increase re-ride ability. I don't think that Mike Rowe would fit the theme for the ride (even though Dirty Jobs and Deadliest Catch are both really cool). James Earl Jones and Patrick Stewart both would fit the bill excellent.

    I'd say Morgan Freeman, but he narrates EVERYTHING. (Well, it seems like he does...)

    But, Walter Cronkite is a nice choice as well as James Earl Jones.

    What's wrong with Eddie Izzard?? He actually has a great voice, although not the best voice for SSE.

    I agree with others here....Patrick Stewart or James Earl Jones.
