The Voice Actors

What a great cast Teddy Ruxpin had, both in the Tv series and with the storybook series. I particularly am fond of Phil Baron and Will Ryan as Teddy and Grubby, respectively.  The chemistry they had as the characters was probably enhanced by the real-life working relationship they had for several years before Teddy even began- as Willio and Phillio, with a radio show in the Midwest and a record deal with Disney.  Will Ryan also voiced Tweeg in the “Adventure Series” but was replaced in the TV series by Canadian John Koensgen. Koensgen and Robert Bockstael as LB got it ‘just right’ with Tweeg and LB. 

Also great were Les Lye as Quellor and Abby Hagyard as Eleanor Tweeg… they had a lot of experience working together on other projects as well, most notably the long-running live action series “You Can’t Do That on Television”.

I would love to get in contact with some of these talented folks for input on the site or just to say hello. Phil Baron’s gracious interview with the site in 2007 was very informative and hearing Phil say hello to me on the phone as Teddy several years ago was one of the highlites of my extended childhood. :)

If anyone has any contact info for any of these folks, please send them my way!
