Phil Reisman is a veteran journalist and native of Westchester County. He began his career in 1977 as the head copy boy of a startup New York City newspaper that quickly went belly up. Reisman was not to blame for the newspaper's failure, or so he claims.
Very good Phil, The Brains voice was provided by Maurice La Marche. In the film Ed Wood, Vincent D’Onofrio ( Gomer Pyle in Full Metal Jacket) portrays Orson Wells but his voice was dubbed by Maurice La Marche.
My, what big ears they have. That can make a mouse mighty touchy.
