Snippet Below:
Mel Blanc was an American voice actor and radio personality whose career spanned over 60 years, he became known worldwide for his work in the Golden age of American animation as the voices of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and numerous other characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoons. He later voiced for Hanna-Barbera's The Flintstones as the lovable Barney Rumble and Mr. Spacely on the Jetsons.
Mel Blanc, also known "as the man of a thousand voices," is regarded as one of the most influential people in the voice acting industry; and as one of the greatest voice actors of all time.
The first cartoon Blanc worked on was Picador Porky (1937) as the voice of a drunken bull, he later received his firs major role when he replaced Joe Dougherty as Porky Pig's voice in Porky's Duck Hunt, which marked the debut of Daffy Duck, also voiced by Blanc.
On January 24, 1961, Blanc was driving alone when his sports car was involved in a head-on collision on Sunset Boulevard; his legs and his pelvis were fractured as a result. About two weeks later, one of Blanc's neurologists at the UCLA Medical Centre tried a different approach than just trying to address the unconscious Blanc himself: address his characters. Blanc was asked, "How are you feeling today, Bugs Bunny?" After a slight pause, Blanc answered, in a weak voice, "Eh... just fine, Doc. How are you?" The doctor then asked Tweety if he was there, too. "I tawt I taw a puddy tat", was the reply.
