I had forgotten about him until you mentioned him and I watched the posted video. So, I looked him up. I was surprised to learn who he was and why he was on the show, but it made sense. Below is info from a Google search:

The "Roy" character on The Mickey Mouse Club was Roy Williams, a beloved Disney animator and artist personally chosen by Walt Disney to be the "Big Mooseketeer," a large, funny, relatable adult figure who connected with the kids and designed the iconic Mouseketeer ears, serving as a warm, skilled artist and gag man amidst the young Mouseketeers.

Why Roy Williams Was Chosen
