Which actor voiced the Magic Mirror?

Moroni Olsen voiced the Magic Mirror in Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Olsen was an American stage and screen actor whose career stretched from the silent-film era into the 1950s. His performance in Snow White was unusual because the Magic Mirror is not portrayed as an ordinary person visible in the room. Instead, Olsen’s deep, solemn voice comes from the supernatural figure trapped within the mirror’s surface.

In the story, the Queen consults the Magic Mirror to learn who is the fairest in the kingdom. For years it confirms her vanity, but eventually announces that Snow White has surpassed her. That revelation drives the Queen’s attempt to have Snow White killed.

The role is sometimes confused with the actors who voiced other Disney characters. Clarence Nash was famous for Donald Duck, Sterling Holloway voiced characters including Winnie-the-Pooh, and Ed Collins played Dopey. Olsen’s Magic Mirror performance is generally listed as uncredited, but the actor’s identity is well established.
