Will Ryan

William Frank Ryan (born November 13, 1939) is an American voice actor, singer and musician. He achieved his breakthrough as a voice actor throughout the 80s leading into the 90s when he provided the voice of Petrie in the 1988 animated classic The Land Before Time. He is also known for his voice work in the Christian radio drama Adventures in Odyssey and Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin.

He originally voiced Wordsy in Cap'n O. G. Readmore's Jack and the Beanstalk, which he was given a minor speaking role. Unfortunately, when Wordsy was given a major role as the tritagonist for the second Readmore episode, ABC replaced Ryan with Stan Jones, as the company simply felt that Jones is a better choice for the character, which carried on afterwards.

Ryan later voiced François in Cap'n O. G. Readmore's Puss in Boots. Compared to his voicing experience with Wordsy before Jones took over, Ryan was superb for François.
