Melvin (Mel) Jerome Blanc (May 30, 1908 – July 10, 1989) was a prolific American

performing in radio and television commercials, Blanc is best known for his work

Hanna-Barbera television productions) as the voice of such iconic characters as       
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Foghorn           
Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Barney Rubble, Mr. Spacely, and hundreds of others.           
Having earned the nickname "The Man of a Thousand Voices", Blanc is regarded as       
one of the most gifted and influential persons in his field.
