Voice of Pres. Ronald Regan in "Big Miracle" movie?

Who does the voice of President Ronald Regan when he phones Russian Premier Gorbachov in movie, Big Miracle? The actor is Quinn K. Redeker. movie credits list Ronald Regan archives for TELEVISION BROADCAST, but the personal phone call to Russia is acted by Redeker. Can he do voices? Nothing about him in this movie in Wikipedia and nothing about his appearing in this movie on his website and filmography. I would guess it was Rich Little, the comedian, but nothing listed on his sites either. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.58.36 (talk) 19:29, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, the official web site of Big Miracle only lists the primary actors. However, IMDB.com does list Quinn Redeker on both the movie's cast list[1] and his bio page there.[2] Of course, the official cast list will always be posted on the film's end credits.

Furthermore, a number of actors like to downplay and not publicize their brief, small cameo roles like that one, and try to focus most of their publicity on their more notable work. Redeker may be one of them, and would probably prefer people talk about him co-writing The Deer Hunter or his Rex Sterling character on The Young and the Restless, not his small voice-only roles.
