“He wouldn't want it publicized, folks, but actually, I do Mel Blanc's voice. ” ―Bugs Bunny, The Bugs Bunny Show
Melvin Jerome "Mel" Blanc (May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989) was an American voice actor, actor, radio comedian, and recording artist. He began his 60-plus-year career performing in radio, but he is best remembered for his work as the voices of Bugs Bunny , Daffy Duck , Porky Pig , Tweety Bird , Sylvester the Cat , Yosemite Sam , Foghorn Leghorn , Marvin the Martian , Pepé Le Pew , Speedy Gonzales , Wile E. Coyote , the Tasmanian Devil , and many of the other characters from the Looney Tunes Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoons during the golden age of American animation. He was, in fact, the voice for all of the major Warner Bros. cartoon characters as well as Elmer Fudd , before and after Arthur Q. Bryan voiced Elmer, and even during Bryan's lifetime.
He later worked for Hanna-Barbera's television cartoons, most notably as the voices of Barney Rubble on The Flintstones The Jetsons Tom and Jerry Chuck Jones for MGM. Furthermore, during the golden age of radio, Blanc was a frequent performer on the radio programs of famous comedians from the era, including Jack Benny, The Abbott and Costello Show , Burns and Allen, and Judy Canova.
Having earned the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Voices", Blanc is regarded as one of the most influential people in the voice-acting industry.
